    A nurse is preparing to administer 100 mg PO of furosemide (Lasix) to an older adult returning from surgery with fluid volume overload. The tablets are labeled 40 mg/tablet. How many tablets should be administered? Do not round.

    Explanation & Rationale

    Step 1 is: Calculate the number of tablets to administer by dividing the ordered dose by the dose available per tablet. Step 2 is: 100 mg ÷ 40 mg/tablet. Step 3 is: 2.5 tablets. The final calculated answer is 2.5 tablets.
