Extract:
A nurse is preparing to administer aspirin 650 mg PO
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer aspirin 650 mg PO. Available is aspirin 325 mg tablets. How many tablets should the nurse administer? (Round to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
To administer the correct dose of aspirin, the nurse needs to calculate the number of 325 mg tablets that would equal the prescribed 650 mg dose. By dividing the prescribed dose (650 mg) by the strength of the available tablets (325 mg), we find that it equals exactly 2.

Extract:
A nurse is preparing to administer clonidine 0.2 mg PO
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer clonidine 0.2 mg PO. The amount available is clonidine 0.1 mg/tablet. 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: A
Rationale:
To administer the correct dose of clonidine, which is 0.2 mg, and given that each tablet contains 0.1 mg of clonidine, the nurse would need to administer two tablets. This is because 0.2 mg divided by 0.1 mg per tablet equals 2 tablets.
