A nurse is preparing to administer lorazepam 2 mg PO. Available is lorazepam 1 mg tablets. How many tablets should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Step 1 is to determine the amount of lorazepam needed, which is 2 mg as prescribed. Step 2 is to calculate the number of tablets required. Since each tablet contains 1 mg, we divide the prescribed dose by the strength per tablet: 2 mg ÷ 1 mg per tablet = 2 tablets Therefore, the correct answer is 2 tablets.
