Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer levothyroxine 100 mcg PO daily. Available is levothyroxine 50 mcg tablets. How many tablets should the nurse administer daily? (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: Solution: 50 mcg is to 1 tablet as 100 mcg is to x tablets. So 50 / 1 = 100 / x. Cross-multiplying: 50x = 100. Dividing both sides by 50: x = 2.
Therefore the nurse should administer 2 tablets daily.

A nurse is preparing to administer clonazepam 5 mg PO in 3 equally divided doses every 8 hr for a client who has seizures. The amount available is clonazepam 0.5 mg tablets. How many tablets should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: Solution:
Total daily dose: 1.5 mg. Number of doses per day: 3. Dose per administration: 1.5 mg / 3 = 0.5 mg. Available tablet strength: 0.5 mg.
Therefore the nurse should administer 1 tablet per dose.
