Translate these statements to determine how many tablets are needed to fill each prescription.
Ampicillin 250 mg po qid x 10 days
Darvon 1 g tab. p.o. q4h for 3 days
Lasix 40 mg po qd x 30 d
Calculate the total # of tablets needed for this prescription
(frequency X duration)
To determine how many tablets are needed for each prescription, we will use the formula:
Total Tablets = Frequency × Duration.
1. Ampicillin 250 mg po qid x 10 days
– Frequency: 4 times a day (qid)
– Duration: 10 days
– Total Tablets = 4 × 10 = 40 tablets
2. Darvon 1 g tab. p.o. q4h for 3 days
– Frequency: 6 times a day (every 4 hours)
– Duration: 3 days
– Total Tablets = 6 × 3 = 18 tablets
3. Lasix 40 mg po qd x 30 d
– Frequency: 1 time a day (qd)
– Duration: 30 days
– Total Tablets = 1 × 30 = 30 tablets
Finally, to find the total number of tablets needed for all prescriptions:
– Total = 40 (Ampicillin) + 18 (Darvon) + 30 (Lasix) = 88 tablets.
Answer: 88 tablets.
