Question 1 of 5

A nurse is preparing to administer amoxicillin 2 gm/day PO divided into two doses. The amount available is amoxicillin 500 mg tablets. How many tablets should the nurse administer with each dose? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Your Answer:

Correct Answer: 2 tablets

Rationale:
To administer 2 gm/day of amoxicillin divided into two doses, first, convert 2 gm to mg: 2 gm = 2000 mg. Since each tablet is 500 mg, divide the total dose by the tablet strength: 2000 mg ÷ 500 mg = 4 tablets for the whole day. Divide this by 2 for each dose: 4 tablets ÷ 2 = 2 tablets per dose.
Therefore, the correct answer is 2 tablets. Other choices would be incorrect because they do not follow the correct dosage calculation based on the available tablet strength and the prescribed total dose.
