    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer digoxin 0.25 mg PO to a client. The amount available is digoxin 0.125 mg tablets. How many tablets should the nurse administer to the client? (Round to the nearest whole number.) ______ tablets

    tablets

    Explanation & Rationale

    Desired dose = 0.25 mg. Tablet strength = 0.125 mg. Number of tablets = 0.25 ÷ 0.125. Step-by-step: 0.125 × 2 = 0.250. Therefore 0.25 ÷ 0.125 = 2. Round to nearest whole number → 2 tablets.
