Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer olanzapine 20 mg PO daily. Available is olanzapine 10 mg orally disintegrating tablets. How many tablets should the nurse administer per dose? (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: The correct answer is 2 tablets. The nurse needs to administer a total of 20 mg of olanzapine daily. Since each tablet is 10 mg, the nurse should give 2 tablets per dose to achieve the desired daily dosage. It is important to round the answer to the nearest whole number as fractions of tablets cannot be given.
Therefore, 2 tablets is the correct amount to provide the required 20 mg dose.
Choices A-G are incorrect as they do not calculate the correct dosage based on the given information.
Choice A provides an incorrect dosage that is too low, while choices B-G either provide dosages that are too high or are unrelated to the question.
