Ordered: 1.33 g On hand: 333 mg / tab.
How many tablets will be given per dose.
(Round to nearest tenth if applicable)
The patient will receive
tablets
To find the number of tablets that will be given per dose, we need to divide the total amount of the medication ordered (1.33 g) by the amount of medication in each tablet (333 mg).
First, convert the ordered amount from grams to milligrams:
1.33 g = 1.33 * 1000 mg = 1330 mg
Then, divide the total ordered amount by the amount in each tablet to find the number of tablets per dose:
1330 mg / 333 mg/tab = 4 tablets
Therefore, the patient will receive 4 tablets per dose.
To determine the number of tablets that will be given per dose, we need to calculate how many tablets are in 1.33 g (grams) and then convert this to the nearest tenth.
Given:
Ordered dose: 1.33 g
On hand dose: 333 mg (milligrams) per tablet
To convert grams to milligrams, we can use the conversion factor: 1 g = 1000 mg.
1.33 g = 1.33 * 1000 mg = 1330 mg
Now, to find the number of tablets in the 1330 mg dose, we divide the total dose by the dose per tablet:
1330 mg / 333 mg per tablet = 3.993 tablets
Rounding this value to the nearest tenth gives us:
Approximately 4 tablets will be given per dose.
