Question
Connor, a paediatric patient, has been prescribed 0.4g of Ibuprofen, which comes in 200mg tablets. How many tablets should Connor be administered?Question 6Answera.2 tabletsb.1.5 tabletsc.0.5 of a tabletd.3.5 tablets
Solution
The answer is a. 2 tablets. Here's why:
-
First, we need to convert the prescribed dose from grams to milligrams because the tablet strength is given in milligrams. There are 1000 milligrams in a gram, so 0.4 grams is equal to 400 milligrams.
-
Next, we divide the total milligrams needed (400mg) by the strength of each tablet (200mg).
-
The calculation is 400mg ÷ 200mg/tablet = 2 tablets.
So, Connor should be administered 2 tablets of Ibuprofen.
