A client with hypertension currently takes two and a half tablets of bisoprolol per day, each containing 100 mg. The new order is 500 mg of bisoprolol per day.
What instruction should be given to this client for the eﬀective management of hypertension?

"Take five and a half tablets daily."

"Take two and a half tablets daily."

"Take five tablets daily."

"Take two tablets daily."

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

The instruction that should be given to this client for the eﬀective management of hypertension is to take

**five tablets** of bisoprolol per day, each containing 100 mg.

This is because the new order of 500 mg of bisoprolol per day is twice as much as the current dose of 250 mg of bisoprolol per day (two and a half tablets of 100 mg each). Therefore, the client needs to double the number of tablets they take per day from two and a half to five.

Explanation

The three components of communication are the sender, the receiver, and the message. The sender is the person who initiates the communication by sending a message. The receiver is the person who receives the message. The message is the information that is being communicated.

A. 400 gt/min B. 6 gt/min C. 25 gt/min D. 9 gt/min

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

The gt/min is 25.

This answer is correct because it is based on a simple formula and calculation. The nurse should use the following formula to calculate the gt/min:

gt/min = (Volume in mL x Drop factor in gt/mL) / Time in min

Plugging in the given values, the nurse should get:

gt/min = (100 mL x 15 gt/mL) / 60 min

gt/min = 25

Therefore, the gt/min is 25.
