A nurse is preparing to administer temazepam 0.015 g PO to assist a client with sleep. Available is temazepam 15mg capsules. How many capsules 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.)

Convert the ordered dose from grams to milligrams: 1 gram (g) = 1000 milligrams (mg) Ordered dose: 0.015 g = 0.015 x 1000 mg = 15 mg Determine the strength of each temazepam capsule: Available strength: 15 mg per capsule Calculate the number of capsules needed: Number of capsules = Ordered dose (mg) / Strength per capsule (mg) Number of capsules = 15 mg / 15 mg/capsule = 1 capsule
