A nurse is preparing to administer aspirin 650 mg PO every 12 hr. The amount available is aspirin 325 mg tablets. How many tablets should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Rationale
To administer a dose of 650 mg of aspirin when only 325 mg tablets are available, the nurse would need to give two tablets to meet the required dose.
