    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer desmopressin 0.2 mg daily to a client. Available is desmopressin 0.1 mg tablets. 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.)

    tablets

    Explanation & Rationale

    Desired dose = 0.2 mg. Available strength of each tablet = 0.1 mg/tablet. Calculate the number of tablets to administer per dose. Number of tablets per dose = Desired dose (mg) / Available strength (mg/tablet) = 0.2 mg / 0.1 mg/tablet = 2 tablets.
