Question

If a physician orders that a patient be given 4 grams of a medication that it is only available in 1000

milligram tablets, how many tablets should the natient hominen?

Answer 1

4 tablets

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information in this question, a doctor/physician orders that a patient be given 4 grams of a medication. However, the medication is only available in 1000 milligram (mg) tablets.

Since 1000mg = 1g

This means that one of the available tablet is 1g.

Hence, in order to give exactly 4grams of a 1g tablet, 4/1 = 4 tablets must be given to the patient.
