Simulated
A doctor ordered amoxicillin 2 gm/day PO divided into two doses. The nurse is preparing to administer the first dose. The amount available is tablets. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.
Correct answer
2
Rationale
The correct answer is 2 tablets. Since the doctor ordered 2 gm/day divided into two doses, each dose would be 1 gm. Considering each tablet is 500 mg, 2 tablets would equal 1 gm, fulfilling the doctor's prescription accurately. Other choices are incorrect as they do not match the required dosage of 2 gm/day.
