Final answer:
The patient is receiving 6 doses per day and is receiving a total of 600mg of acetaminophen per dose.
Step-by-step explanation:
The patient is receiving 2 tablets of hydrocodone/acetaminophen (5/300)mg every 4 hours for pain. To calculate how many doses per day he is receiving, we need to determine how many doses are in a 24-hour period. Since the medication is taken every 4 hours, there are 24/4 = 6 doses in a day.
As for the amount of acetaminophen he is receiving, each tablet contains 300mg, so he is receiving a total of 300mg x 2 = 600mg of acetaminophen per dose.
Therefore, the patient is receiving 6 doses per day and is receiving a total of 600mg of acetaminophen per dose.
