Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer aspirin 650 mg PO. Available in aspirin 325 mg tablets. How many tablets should the nurse administer?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 2 tablets. The nurse should administer 2 tablets of 325 mg each to achieve a total dose of 650 mg. Since each tablet is 325 mg, administering 2 tablets will provide the required 650 mg dose. Administering 1 tablet would only provide 325 mg, which is half the required dose. Administering 3 tablets would result in 975 mg, exceeding the required dose. Administering 4 tablets would provide 1300 mg, significantly exceeding the required dose.
Therefore, the correct answer is 2 tablets to achieve the desired dose of 650 mg.
