    Calculation

    A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for chlorpromazine 1 g/day PO divided into four equal doses. How many mg 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.)

    mg

    Explanation & Rationale

    Step by step calculation: Determine the total dosage per day in g: 1 g Convert grams to milligrams: 1g= 1000 mg Divide the total daily dose into four equal doses: Dose per administration=1000 mg/4 Calculate the dose: Dose per administration=250 mg
