A client receives a prescription for amoxicillin 2 g/clavulanate 125 mg by mouth every 12 hours for 10 days. The medication is available in 1000 mg/62.5 mg extended release tablets. How many tablets should the nurse administer? (Enter numerical value only.)

Total dosage every 12 hours: Amoxicillin = 2 g = 2000 mg Clavulanate = 125 mg The dose ordered in mg is 2,000 + 125 = 2,125 mg. The dose available in mg is 1,000 + 62.5 = 1,062.5 mg. The volume to administer is 2,125 / 1,062.5 x 1 = 2 tablets. The nurse should administer 2 tablets of amoxicillin/clavulanate.
