    The healthcare provider prescribes lansoprazole 30 mg by mouth once a day for a client with a duodenal ulcer. The medication is available in 15 mg capsules. How many capsule(s) should the nurse administer? (Enter numerical value only.)

    capsules

    Explanation & Rationale

    Prescribed dose = 30 mg Available dose per capsule = 15 mg/capsule Calculate the number of capsules to administer: Number of capsules = Prescribed dose / Available dose per capsule = 30 mg / 15 mg/capsule = 2 capsules
