ATI Nurs 100 Fundamental Final Exam Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is preparing to administer levothyroxine 0.75 mg PO once a day. The amount available is levothyroxine 88 mcg/tablet. How many tablets should the nurse administer per dose?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 9 tablets.
To calculate the number of tablets needed, convert 0.75 mg to mcg (750 mcg).
Then, divide the total mcg needed (750 mcg) by the strength per tablet (88 mcg) to get the number of tablets required (750 mcg / 88 mcg = 8.52). Since the nurse cannot administer a fraction of a tablet, the nurse should round up to the nearest whole number, thus requiring 9 tablets.
Choice B (8 tablets) is incorrect because it does not account for the rounding up needed for the appropriate dosage.

Choices C (10 tablets) and D (7 tablets) are incorrect as they do not accurately calculate the number of tablets required based on the dosage strength and total amount needed.
