    Calculation

    A nurse is planning to administer chlorpromazine 0.8 g PO daily to a client. How many mg should the nurse plan to administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use leading zero if it applies. Do not use i trailing zero.)

    mg

    Explanation & Rationale

    Identify the Given Dose: The prescribed dose is 0.8 grams (g). Convert Grams to Milligrams: We need to convert grams (g) to milligrams (mg) because medication dosages are often expressed in milligrams. There are 1000 milligrams in 1 gram (1 g = 1000 mg). 0.8 g x 1000 mg/g = 800 mg
