Let’s break down each prescription to determine how many tablets are needed.
1. Plendil 7.5 mg po bid x 14 d:
– “po” means by mouth, “bid” means twice a day, and “x 14 d” means for 14 days.
– Therefore, you take 2 tablets per day (one in the morning and one in the evening) for 14 days:
– 2 tablets/day * 14 days = 28 tablets.
– Correct Answer: b. 28 tablets
2. Procardia XL 60 mg q6h x 6 d:
– “q6h” means every 6 hours, and “x 6 d” means for 6 days.
