    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer aspirin 650 mg PO every 12 hr. The amount available is aspirin 325 mg tablets. How many tablets should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

    tablets

    Explanation & Rationale

    Number of tablets = Desired dose (mg) / Tablet strength (mg/tablet) In this case: Desired dose = 650 mg Tablet strength = 325 mg/tablet Plugging the values into the formula: Number of tablets = 650 mg / 325 mg/tablet = 2 tablets
