Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer gabapentin 900 mg PO once daily for a client who has neuropathic pain. The amount available is gabapentin 300 mg/capsule. How many capsules should the nurse administer per dose?
Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: The correct answer is 3 capsules.
To determine this, divide the total dose (900 mg) by the dose per capsule (300 mg). So, 900 mg รท 300 mg = 3 capsules. This is because each capsule contains 300 mg of gabapentin, and the total dose needed is 900 mg.
Therefore, the nurse should administer 3 capsules per dose. Other choices are incorrect because they do not follow the correct calculation of dividing the total dose by the dose per capsule.
