    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer cimetidine 300 mg PO twice daily to a client. The amount available is cimetidine 300 mg/tablet. 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.)

    tablet

    Explanation & Rationale

    Number of tablets = Desired dose (mg) / Tablet strength (mg/tablet) In this case: Desired dose = 300 mg Tablet strength = 300 mg/tablet Plugging the values into the formula: Number of tablets = 300 mg / 300 mg/tablet = 1 tablet
