A patient is taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) 325 mg, 2 tablets PO every 6 hours. How many grams is the patient receiving in 24 hours?
(Number Only, do not type in gram or g with your answer)
Explanation
The correct answer is 6 grams. To calculate the amount of acetaminophen (Tylenol) the patient is receiving in 24 hours, we can follow these steps: The patient is taking 2 tablets of acetaminophen 325 mg every 6 hours. 325 mg * 2 tablets = 650 mg every 6 hours. Since there are 4 sets of 6 hours in 24 hours (24 / 6 = 4), we multiply the dosage for one 6-hour period by 4 to find the daily dosage. 650 mg * 4 = 2600 mg (2.6 grams) in 24 hours.
So, the patient is receiving 2.6 grams of acetaminophen in 24 hours.
