A nurse is preparing to administer oxybutynin 5 mg PO four times a day for a client with urinary incontinence. The amount available is 5 mg/tablet in an immediate release form. How many tablet(s) will the client get in 48 hours? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies Do not use a trailing zero.)

To calculate the total number of tablets the client will receive in 48 hours, follow these steps: Dosage per day: The client is to take 5 mg four times a day. Daily dosage = 5 mg × 4 = 20 mg per day. Total dosage in 48 hours: Since 48 hours is equivalent to 2 days, Total dosage in 48 hours = 20 mg/day × 2 days = 40 mg. Tablets required: Each tablet is 5 mg. Number of tablets = Total dosage ÷ Dosage per tablet = 40 mg ÷ 5 mg/tablet = 8 tablets.
