    Calculation

    A client has a prescription for clonidine for hypertension. The available medication is labeled, clonidine 0.3 mg per tablet. The client reports taking two tablets, twice daily. What total daily medication dose, in mg, is the client taking? (Enter numerical value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest tenth.)

    mg

    Explanation & Rationale

    The client has a prescription for clonidine for hypertension and the available medication is labeled clonidine 0.3 mg per tablet. The client reports taking two tablets, twice daily, so the total daily medication dose is 1.2 mg (2 tablets * 0.3 mg/tablet * 2 times/day).
