Answer #1

The PA has ordered erythromycin 1 g PO at 1 PM, 2 PM and 11 PM on the day before intestinal surgery.

The nurse prepares to administer the first on the three doses and finds erythromycin 400- mg scored tablets available.

Since one gram = 1000mg

The number of tablets that should be prepared for each dose of this intestinal antisepsis therapy;

= 1000/400

= 2.5 tables for each dose
