Question 1 of 5
The physician orders tramadol 100 mg oral three times a day. Tramadol is available in 50-mg tablets. How many tablets would the nurse administer with each dose?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 2 tablets. The physician orders tramadol 100 mg three times a day, totaling 300 mg per day. Since tramadol is available in 50-mg tablets, the nurse would administer 2 tablets per dose (100 mg) to achieve the prescribed 100 mg dose. Administering 1 tablet (50 mg) would not meet the prescribed dose, while administering 3 tablets (150 mg) or 4 tablets (200 mg) would exceed the prescribed dose.
Therefore, 2 tablets per dose is the correct choice to ensure the patient receives the accurate amount of medication.
