Question 1098322: levothyroxine 0.1 mg is ordered daily. The pharmacy sent 50 mcg tablets. How many tablet(s) should the nurse administer each dose?
All I know is that 1000 mcg = 1 mg but I don't know what to do from there. Please help me Answer by KMST(5328) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1000 mcg = 1 mg
Divide both sides by 10.
You get 100 mcg = 0.1 mg , which is the dose prescribed.
At 50 mcg per tablet, tablets would be 100 mcg.
The nurse should give 2 tablets.
Take away from food.
