Answer 1

The doctor's order for Aspirin requires calculating the total amount of tablets to be administered. To do this, divide 160 mg by 40 mg, resulting in 4 tablets. The patient should also take Amlodipine 10 mg once daily in the evening, Losartan Hctz 12.5 mg/100 mg once daily in the morning, Simvastatin 20 mg twice daily, and Clopidogrel 75 mg once daily after lunch.
