Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer diphenhydramine 50 mg PO every 6 hr to a client who has acute dystonia. Available is diphenhydramine 25 mg tablets. How many tablets should the nurse administer per dose? (Round to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 2 tablets. The nurse is preparing to administer 50 mg of diphenhydramine per dose. Since each tablet contains 25 mg, the nurse should administer 2 tablets to achieve the total dose of 50 mg. It's important to round to the nearest whole number in this case.
Choices B, C, D, E, F, and G are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the dosage requirement and the strength of each tablet. It's crucial for the nurse to accurately calculate the number of tablets to ensure the client receives the appropriate medication dosage for effective treatment of acute dystonia.
