12. A patient receives 3 tablets of medication per dose. The tablets are equivalent to 2 grams each. How many mg does the patient receive per dose? 13. A patient is ordered to have \( 4 \mathrm{mg} \)

Answer 1

The patient receives 6000 milligrams per dose by taking 3 tablets, with each tablet being equivalent to 2 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many mg the patient receives per dose, we need to multiply the number of tablets by the weight of each tablet. If a patient receives 3 tablets of medication per dose and each tablet is equivalent to 2 grams, then the total amount of medication received per dose in grams is 3 tablets × 2 grams = 6 grams. To convert this amount into milligrams (mg), we use the conversion factor that 1 gram is equal to 1000 milligrams. Therefore, 6 grams × 1000 mg/gram = 6000 milligrams. So the patient receives a total of 6000 milligrams per dose.
