Question 1 of 5
A provider has prescribed quetiapine 50 mg PO, divided equally every 12 hours for 3 days. The available medication is quetiapine 25 mg tablets. How many tablets should the nurse administer per dose on the third day? How many quetiapine tablets per dose on day 3?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 1 tablet. On the third day, the total dose required is 50 mg, which is equivalent to 2 tablets of 25 mg each. Since the dose needs to be divided equally every 12 hours, the nurse should administer 1 tablet per dose on the third day.
Choice B (2 tablets) is incorrect as it would result in an overdose of 100 mg.
Choices C (3 tablets) and D (4 tablets) are also incorrect for the same reason.
