6️⃣ A provider prescribes 2 g of a medication. The tablets available are 500 mg each. How many tablets are required?

🔟 The provider orders 250 mg of a medication. Available: 125 mg per 1 mL. How many mL should you administer?
ANSWERS:
1️⃣ Answer: 2 tablets - (400 mg ÷ 200 mg) × 1 = 2. The ordered dose is double the available dose. 2️⃣ Answer: 15 mL - (150 mg ÷ 50 mg) × 5 = 15. Divide the ordered dose by the available dose per unit and multiply by quantity. 3️⃣ Answer: 3 tablets - (1200 mg ÷ 400 mg) × 1 = 3. 4️⃣ Answer: 4 mL - (60 mg ÷ 30 mg) × 2 = 4. 5️⃣ Answer: 2 mL - (500 mg ÷ 250 mg) × 1 = 2. 6️⃣ Answer: 4 tablets - (2000 mg ÷ 500 mg) × 1 = 4. 7️⃣ Answer: 3 mL - (90 mg ÷ 30 mg) × 1 = 3. 8️⃣ Answer: 15 mL - (75 mg ÷ 25 mg) × 5 = 15. 9️⃣ Answer: 4 tablets - (300 mg ÷ 150 mg) × 2 = 4. 🔟 Answer: 2 mL - (250 mg ÷ 125 mg) × 1 = 2.
