Nursing Preparation Study Guide

Nursing Preparation Study Guide Again, begin my identifying what you know from the scenario. The dose comes in 325 mg tablets. Since the prescribed dose is in grams go ahead and convert the dose on the container to g, 325 mg = 0.325 g. Then since 325 g of the medicine is contained in 1 supplement then = 1 , and the desired dose is 1 g. Now substitute these values into the proportion. 0.325 g 1 supp = 1 g ? supp Then cross multiply and solve for the unknowns. (0.325 g)(? supp) = (1 g)(1 supp) ⟹ (0.325 g)(? supp) 0.325 g = 1(g)(supp) 0.325 g ⟹? supp = 1 0.325 supp = 3.08 supp Now interpret your results. Per the doctors’ orders 3 tablets need to be administered to the patient if need per conditions mentioned earlier.
