Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer digoxin 5 mg PO to a client. The amount available is digoxin 0.5 mg/tablet. How many tablets should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 10
Rationale: The correct answer is 10 tablets.
To calculate, you divide the total dose needed (5 mg) by the dose per tablet (0.5 mg). 5 mg รท 0.5 mg = 10 tablets. The nurse should administer 10 tablets of digoxin to achieve the desired 5 mg dose. Other choices are incorrect because they do not result in the correct dosage amount required for the client.
