Correct Answer is ["2"]

Explanation

Step 1: The total amount of olanzapine required per dose is 20 mg.

Step 2: Each tablet contains 10 mg of olanzapine.

Step 3: To find out how many tablets are needed, we divide the total amount required by the amount in each tablet. So, 20 mg ÷ 10 mg/tablet.

Step 4: The result is 2 tablets.

So, the nurse should administer 2 tablets per dose. This is already a whole number, so no rounding is necessary.
