Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

H = 600 mg; Q = scored tablet; O = 0.6 g 
 
 Convert the units:
 
 1,000 mg : 1 g = D : 0.6 g
 
 1 * D = 1,000 mg * 0.6 
 
 D = 600 mg 
 
 No calculation is necessary. The desired dose and the dose on hand are both 600 mg, so the amount to administer is 1 tablet.
