    A nurse is preparing to administer amoxicillin 2 gm/day PO divided into two doses. The amount available is amoxicillin 500 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.)
