Question 1 of 25 :
(Calculator)
A nurse is preparing to administer metronidazole 2 g PO. The amount available is 500 mg tablets. How many tablets should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 4
To answer this question, the nurse needs to calculate the number of tablets required to give the prescribed dose of metronidazole. The formula for this is:
Number of tablets = (Prescribed dose) / (Available dose) Plugging in the values from the question, we get:
Number of tablets = (2 g) / (500 mg)
Since 1 g = 1000 mg, we can convert 2 g to 2000 mg and simplify the fraction: Number of tablets = (2000 mg) / (500 mg) = 4
