Calculation
A nurse is preparing to administer clonazepam 1.5 mg PO in 3 equally divided doses every 8 hr for a client who has seizures. The amount available is clonazepam 0.5 mg tablets. 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
Total daily dose: 1.5 mg Divided into 3 equal doses: 1.5 mg / 3 = 0.5 mg per dose Now, we can calculate the number of tablets: Number of tablets = Desired dose (mg) / Tablet strength (mg/tablet) Number of tablets = 0.5 mg / 0.5 mg/tablet = 1 tablet
