The physician writes an order for furosemide (Lasix) 120 mg. Each table contains 40 mg. How many tablets would you administer?

To calculate the dosage of furosemide (Lasix), a diuretic medication, you need to divide the ordered amount by the tablet strength. In this case, the ordered amount is 120 mg and the tablet strength is 40 mg. Therefore, you need to divide 120 by 40, which gives you 3. This means you would administer 3 tablets of furosemide (Lasix) to the patient.
