A nurse is planning to administer lithium 1.8 g PO daily to a client. How many my should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use : leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Identify the Given Dose: The prescribed dose is 1.8 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). 1.8 g x 1000 mg/g = 1800 mg
