A patient with depression is prescribed sertraline 50 mg once daily. If the medication is administered for 14 days, what is the total dosage in milligrams?

Choice A reason: The patient is prescribed 50 mg of sertraline daily for 14 days. The total dosage is calculated as 50 mg/day × 14 days = 700 mg, making this the correct answer. Choice B reason: A total of 500 mg would imply a daily dose of approximately 35.7 mg (500 ÷ 14), which does not match the prescribed 50 mg daily dose. This is incorrect. Choice C reason: A total of 750 mg would imply a daily dose of approximately 53.6 mg (750 ÷ 14), which exceeds the prescribed 50 mg daily dose. This is incorrect. Choice D reason: A total of 600 mg would imply a daily dose of approximately 42.9 mg (600 ÷ 14), which is less than the prescribed 50 mg daily dose. This is incorrect.
