Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg PO every 8 hr. The amount available is hydrochlorothiazide 50 mg/tab. How many tablets should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth/whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 0.5 tablets.
Rationale:
To determine the number of tablets, divide the desired dose (25 mg) by the available strength (50 mg/tablet): 25 mg / 50 mg/tablet = 0.5 tablets.
