A patient is prescribed 300 mg of Risperidone divided into two doses daily. If Risperidone is available in 50 mg tablets, how many tablets should be administered per dose?

Choice A reason: Three tablets equal 150 mg, which is the total daily dose, not the per-dose amount. Choice B reason: 300 mg divided into two doses equals 150 mg per dose. Each tablet is 50 mg, so 150 ÷ 50 = 3 tablets per dose. Wait correction → That equals 3 tablets per dose, not 5. The correct option should be A). The correct answer is: A). Choice A reason: Each dose must equal 150 mg. With 50 mg tablets, that equals 3 tablets per dose. This is the accurate calculation. Choice B reason: Five tablets would equal 250 mg per dose, which is too high and exceeds the prescribed amount. Choice C reason: Six tablets equal 300 mg per dose, doubling the total daily prescription. Choice D reason: Four tablets equal 200 mg per dose, which is higher than prescribed.
