Ati Mental Health Proctored Exam 3
Calculation
A nurse is preparing to administer chlordiazepoxide 50 mg PO every 8 hr to a client. The amount available is chlordiazepoxide 25 mg/capsule. How many capsules 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.)
capsules
Explanation & Rationale
25 mg is to 1 capsule as 50 mg is to x capsules So, 25/1 = 50/x Cross-multiplying: 25x = 50 Dividing both sides by 25: x = 2 Therefore, the nurse should administer 2 capsules per dose.
