A nurse is preparing to administer diphenhydramine 50 mg PO every 6 hours to a client who has acute dystonia.

Available are diphenhydramine 25 mg tablets. How many tablets 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 and Explanation

The Correct Answer is ["2"]

Step 1: The total amount of diphenhydramine required per dose is 50 mg.

Step 2: Each tablet contains 25 mg of diphenhydramine.
Step 3: To find out how many tablets are needed, we divide the total amount required by the amount in each tablet. So, 50 mg ÷ 25 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.
