A nurse is preparing to administer metronidazole 2g orally to a client diagnosed with trichomoniasis. The available medication is metronidazole 250 mg tablets.How many tablets should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies.
Do not use a trailing zero.)

6 tablets

7 tablets

8 tablets

9 tablets .

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

Step 1 is to calculate the number of tablets to administer. The prescription is for 2g of metronidazole and each tablet contains 250mg. To convert grams to milligrams, we multiply by 1000, so 2g is 2000mg. We then divide the total milligrams needed by the milligrams per tablet: (2000mg ÷ 250mg/tablet) = 8 tablets.
