To calculate the number of tablets to administer per dose, we need to determine the total amount of clonazepam required for each dose and then divide it by the strength of each tablet.
The total amount of clonazepam required for each dose is 1.5 mg, and it needs to be divided into three equal parts. Therefore, each part would be 1.5 mg / 3 = 0.5 mg.
The strength of each clonazepam tablet is 0.5 mg.
Therefore, the nurse should administer 0.5 mg / 0.5 mg = 1 tablet per dose.
