    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer desipramine 0.15 g PO to a client. The nurse should identify that this is equivalent to how many mg? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

    mg

    Explanation & Rationale

    Identify the Given Dose: The prescribed dose is 0.15 grams (g). Convert Grams to Milligrams: We need to convert grams (g) to milligrams (mg) because the question asks for the answer in milligrams. There are 1000 milligrams in 1 gram (1 g = 1000 mg). 0.15 g x 1000 mg/g = 150 mg Round to the Nearest Whole Number : 150mg
