Question

problem 3
order: amoxicillin clavulanate (augmentin) 0.5 by mouth every 8 hours

Explanation:

Step1: Convert units

We know that 1 g = 1000 mg. So, 0.5 g=0.5×1000 = 500 mg.

Step2: Calculate number of tablets

The ordered dose is 500 mg and the supply is 500 - mg tablets. So the number of tablets per dose is $\frac{500}{500}=1$.
