Question: 1 / 400

If a prescription is for 0.5 mg of Centrine and you have 0.2 mg tablets, how many tablets will you need to deliver?

1.0 tablets

1.5 tablets

2.0 tablets

2.5 tablets

To determine how many 0.2 mg tablets are needed to fulfill a prescription for 0.5 mg of Centrine, one must first calculate the total number of tablets required based on the dosage prescribed.

The prescription requires 0.5 mg of the medication. If each tablet contains 0.2 mg, the calculation can be done by dividing the total required dose by the strength of each tablet:

0.5 mg (required dose) ÷ 0.2 mg (strength per tablet) = 2.5 tablets.

Therefore, to meet the prescription of 0.5 mg, you would need to provide 2.5 tablets of the 0.2 mg Centrine. This is why the correct answer is 2.5 tablets, as it accurately reflects the required dosage based on the tablet strength available.
