Explanation:

Question 13

In medication administration, the general rule is that the maximum number of tablets or capsules for a single dose is usually 3 to ensure patient compliance and safety (e.g., easier to take, less chance of error). So the statement is True.

Step1: Identify given values

Prescribed dose = 10 mg, Available dose per tablet = 5 mg/tablet.

Step2: Use the formula: Number of tablets = $\frac{\text{Prescribed dose}}{\text{Available dose per tablet}}$

Substitute the values: $\frac{10\ \text{mg}}{5\ \text{mg/tablet}} = 2$ tablets.

Answer:

1. True
