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)
Let’s break down each prescription to determine how many tablets are needed.
1. Ampicillin 250 mg po qid x 10 days
– Frequency: qid means 4 times a day.
– Duration: 10 days.
– Calculation: 4 times/day × 10 days = 40 tablets needed.
2. Darvon 1 g tab. p.o. q4h for 3 days
– Frequency: q4h means every 4 hours. In a 24-hour period, that is 6 times a day.
– Duration: 3 days.
– Calculation: 6 times/day × 3 days = 18 tablets needed.
3. Lasix 40 mg po qd x 30 d
– Frequency: qd means once a day.
– Duration: 30 days.
– Calculation: 1 time/day × 30 days = 30 tablets needed.
Total Tablets Needed:
Ampicillin: 40 tablets
Darvon: 18 tablets
Lasix: 30 tablets
Total = 40 + 18 + 30 = 88 tablets.
So, you will need a total of 88 tablets to fill this prescription.
