Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is preparing to administer clonazepam 5 mg PO in 3 equally divided doses every 8 hr for a client who has seizures. The amount available is clonazepam 0.5 mg tablets. How many tablets should the nurse administer per dose? (Round off to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Correct Answer: 1

Rationale:
Correct
Answer: 1


Rationale:
To calculate the number of tablets per dose, divide the total dose (5 mg) by the dose per tablet (0.5 mg).
5 mg / 0.5 mg = 10 tablets for the total dose.
Since the total dose is divided into 3 equal doses, divide the total tablets by 3.
10 tablets / 3 = 3.33 tablets per dose.
Round off to the nearest tenth, which is 3.3.
Since we cannot administer a partial tablet, the nurse should administer 1 tablet per dose.

Summary:
A: 1 - Correct. Calculated based on dividing total dose by dose per tablet and rounding off.
B: 2 - Incorrect. Not the correct calculation based on the dose per tablet.
C: 3 - Incorrect. Not the correct calculation based on the dose per tablet.
D: 4 - Incorrect. Not the correct calculation based on the dose per tablet.
