Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer metronidazole 2 g PO to a client who has trichomoniasis. Available is metronidazole 250 mg tablets. How many tablets should the nurse administer?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 8 tablets.
To calculate the correct dosage, divide the total dose by the dose per tablet. In this case, 2 g = 2000 mg, and each tablet is 250 mg.
Therefore, 2000 mg รท 250 mg = 8 tablets. This ensures the client receives the correct dosage for effective treatment.
Choice B (4 tablets) would result in an underdose, C (2 tablets) would be half the required dose, and D (1 tablet) would be significantly lower than the needed dose, leading to ineffective treatment.
