Of the doses on hand, you would choose___________ to administer the ordered dose Ordered: Coumadin 7.5 mg PO daily

A. Coumadin 10 mg scored tablets: A 10 mg tablet exceeds the ordered dose of 7.5 mg. Although it's scored, splitting it in a way that gives exactly 7.5 mg would be imprecise and not ideal for accurate dosing. B. Coumadin 1 mg scored tablets: While these allow precise dosing, it would require administering multiple tablets (e.g., seven 1 mg tablets and one half), which increases pill burden and potential for error. C. Coumadin injection 5 mg/vial: The prescribed route is oral (PO), not parenteral. Using an injection would not comply with the prescribed route of administration. D. Coumadin 5 mg scored tablets: The 5 mg scored tablet can be used to administer one whole 5 mg tablet and one-half tablet (2.5 mg), totaling 7.5 mg. This provides an accurate and convenient way to deliver the dose.
