Simulated
A nurse is caring for a client who has heart failure and a prescription for digoxin 125 mcg PO daily. Available is digoxin PO 0.25 mg/tablet. How many tablets should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct answer
0.5
Rationale
Converting 125 mcg to 0.125 mg and dividing by 0.25 mg/tablet yields 0.5 tablets, which is already rounded to the nearest tenth.
