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 number of tablets needed, divide the total dose (2 g) by the strength of each tablet (250 mg). 2 g is equal to 2000 mg. 2000 mg ÷ 250 mg = 8 tablets.
Therefore, the nurse should administer 8 tablets of metronidazole.
Choice B (4 tablets) is incorrect because it does not provide the correct dose of 2 g.
Choice C (2 tablets) is incorrect as well, as it only provides half of the required dose.
Choice D (1 tablet) is incorrect because it does not meet the prescribed dosage of 2 g.
