    A nurse is preparing to administer risperidone 5 mg PO. Available is risperidone 2 mg tablets. How many tablets should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

    2.5 tablets.

    Explanation & Rationale

    Step 1 is to calculate the number of tablets to administer. The formula is desired dose ÷ dose per tablet. So, 5 mg ÷ 2 mg = 2.5 tablets. So, the correct answer is 2.5 tablets.
