A nurse is preparing to administer tramadol 100 mg PO every 6 hours for a client prior to wound dressing change. The amount available is 50 mg/tablet. How many tablet(s) should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

2

Rationale:

✔ Step 1: Identify the prescribed dose and tablet strength

Prescribed dose = 100 mg

Available = 50 mg per tablet

✔ Step 2: Use the formula to calculate tablets

Tablets = Dose ÷ Strength per tablet

Tablets = 100 ÷ 50 = 2

✔ Step 3: Rounding

Already a whole number = 2 tablets
