Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer digoxin 0.25 mg PO daily. The amount available is digoxin 0.125 mg tablets. How many tablets should the nurse administer?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 2 tablets.
To achieve a total of 0.25 mg of digoxin daily, the nurse should administer 2 tablets of 0.125 mg each, totaling 0.25 mg. This is calculated by dividing the desired dose (0.25 mg) by the dose per tablet (0.125 mg) which equals 2 tablets.
Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not achieve the desired dose of 0.25 mg.
