Question 1 of 5

A nurse is preparing to administer levothyroxine 100 mcg PO daily. Available is levothyroxine 50 mcg tablets. How many tablets should the nurse administer daily? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Correct Answer: 2

Rationale:
To administer 100 mcg of levothyroxine daily using 50 mcg tablets, the nurse should give 2 tablets. Each tablet is 50 mcg, so 2 tablets equal 100 mcg, meeting the prescribed dose. The nurse should round the answer to the nearest whole number, which is 2 in this case. Other choices like 1 tablet (50 mcg) would be insufficient to reach the required 100 mcg dose.

Choices above 2 tablets would exceed the prescribed dose, potentially leading to adverse effects. It's important to ensure the correct dosage is given to maintain the patient's thyroid hormone levels within the therapeutic range.
