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 dose, divide the total dose by the dose per tablet. In this case, 2 g equals 2000 mg.
Therefore, divide 2000 mg by 250 mg (dose per tablet), which equals 8 tablets. Each tablet contains 250 mg, so to reach the total dose of 2000 mg, the nurse needs to administer 8 tablets.
Choice B (4 tablets) is incorrect because it would only provide 1000 mg, not the required 2000 mg.
Choice C (2 tablets) would provide only 500 mg, not the required dose.
Choice D (1 tablet) would provide only 250 mg, which is insufficient.
