Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is preparing to administer clonidine 0.3 mg at bedtime to a client. The amount available is clonidine 0.1 mg/tablet. How many tablets should the nurse administer per dose?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 3 tablets.
To achieve the prescribed dose of 0.3 mg, the nurse needs to administer 3 tablets of clonidine 0.1 mg each. This is calculated by dividing the desired dose (0.3 mg) by the available dose per tablet (0.1 mg).
Therefore, 0.3 mg / 0.1 mg = 3 tablets.

Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not provide the correct calculation based on the available dosage strength and the prescribed dose. Option A would be insufficient, Option B would be excessive, and Option D would also be excessive.
