Question 3 of 5
Doctor orders: levothyroxine 0.2 mg PO daily. Available is levothyroxine 200 mcg/tab. How many tablets will you give?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To determine the number of tablets, convert the ordered dose to the same units as the available dose. Ordered: 0.2 mg = 0.2 × 1000 = 200 mcg. Available: 200 mcg per tablet.
