    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer temazepam 15 mg PO at bedtime. Available is temazepam 7.5 mg 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.)

    capsules

    Explanation & Rationale

    Calculation: Desired dose = 15 mg. Available strength per capsule = 7.5 mg/capsule. Calculate the number of capsules to administer. Number of capsules = Desired dose (mg) / Available strength (mg/capsule) = 15 mg / 7.5 mg/capsule = 2 capsules.
