A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for sotalol 320 mg/day in two divided doses. The amount available is 80 mg tablets. How many tablets should the nurse administer with each dose? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Calculation: Identify the total daily dose, number of doses, and tablet strength Total Daily Dose: 320 mg/day Number of Doses: 2 Dose per administration = 320 ÷ 2 = 160 mg per dose Tablet Strength: 80 mg per tablet Calculate the number of tablets per dose Number of Tablets = Dose per administration ÷ Tablet Strength Number of Tablets = 160 ÷ 80 = 2
