Sue Baker is given a prescription of MECLIZINE 25MG to be taken three times daily. She was given enough for ten days. She has been given her pills following the six "rights" (right resident, right drug, right dosage, right time, right route, right record/documentation). On the start of day four, how many pills should be in the bottle?

Respuesta :

There should be 21 pills.

Assuming she started taking the pills the morning of the first day, 3 pills per day x 3 days = 9 pills.

She had enough for 10 days; 10 days * 3 pills per day = 30 pills

30 pills to begin with - 9 pills taken = 21 pills left
