Given,
Prescribes: digoxin 125 mcg(micrograms) PO every morning for a 81
years old client with congestive heart failure.
The pharmacy dispenses pills that contain 0.25 mg of
digoxin.
Now, 1 mg = 1000 mcg( micrograms)
0.25 mg = 1000×0.25 mcg
=250 mcg
So, pharmacy dispenses 250 mcg of digoxin.
So, the number of pills should the nurse teach the client to
take every morning = prescribes dose/ pharmacy dispenses
digoxin
= 125 mcg/250 mcg
=0.5
Therefore, 0.5 or half number of pills should the nurse teach the
client to take every morning.
