A nurse wants to give a patient 3 gm of sulfisoxazole. It comes in 500-mg tablets. How many tablets should be used?

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

do you know the relationship between grams and milligrams?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes! 1g= 1000mg

Well there are 1,000 miligrams in one gram... So she wants to give the patient 3 grams so that would be 3,000 miligrams in total.... So what should we do?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divide that by 500?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
