A nurse is preparing to administer clonidine 0.2 mg PO
Question 1 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.
