    Calculation

    A client receives a prescription for digoxin 0.25 mg by mouth. The medication is available in 0.125 mg tablets. How many tablets should the practical nurse (PN) administer? (Enter numeric value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest tenth.)

    tablets

    Explanation & Rationale

    The prescription is for 0.25 mg of digoxin, and each tablet contains 0.125 mg. By dividing the prescribed dose (0.25 mg) by the strength of each tablet (0.125 mg), we get 2. Answer = 2
