Question 1 of 5
The physician orders acyclovir 400 mg po three times a day for herpes. The medication is supplied in 800-mg tablets. How many tablets will the nurse administer?
Correct Answer: 0.5
Rationale: The correct answer is 0.5 tablets.
To administer 400 mg three times a day, the nurse will give 1.5 tablets (800 mg each). Since the tablets are 800 mg, half a tablet (0.5) will equal 400 mg. This ensures the patient receives the correct dose. Other choices are incorrect as they do not consider the tablet strength or the total required dose. Option A (1 tablet) would provide 800 mg per dose, exceeding the required 400 mg. Options B-G do not reflect the necessary dosage calculation.
