Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer lorazepam 2 mg PO. Available in lorazepam 1 mg tablets. How many tablets should the nurse administer?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 2 tablets. The nurse needs to administer 2 mg of lorazepam, and each tablet is 1 mg.
Therefore, to achieve the total dose of 2 mg, the nurse should administer 2 tablets. Administering 1 tablet (choice
A) would only provide 1 mg, which is insufficient.
Choices C and D would exceed the required dose of 2 mg, leading to potential overdose and adverse effects.
