    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer atenolol 25 mg PO every 12 hr. The amount available is atenolol 50 mg/tab. How many tablets should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

    tablets

    Explanation & Rationale

    The dose required is 25 mg, and each tablet contains 50 mg. Dividing the dose by the available tablet strength (25 mg ÷ 50 mg/tab) results in 0.5 tablets.
