Question 1 of 5
A client receives a prescription for a one-time dose of metronidazole 2 grams by mouth. The medication is available in 500 mg tablets. How many tablets should the nurse administer? (Enter numerical value only).
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The client has been prescribed a one-time dose of metronidazole 2 grams by mouth. Since 1 gram is equal to 1000 milligrams (mg), 2 grams is equal to 2000 mg. The medication is available in 500 mg tablets, so the nurse should administer 2000 mg / 500 mg/tablet = 4 tablets.
