Question 1 of 33 :
A nurse is preparing to administer diclofenac sodium 200 mg PO daily in equally divided doses every 6 hr. How many mg 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.)
Correct Answer: 50
Total daily dose = 200 mg Frequency = Every 6 hours Total number of doses =24/6
=4 doses
Total dose = 200mg Per dose= 200mg/4
= 50mg
So, the nurse should administer 50 mg per dose.
