Question

question 4 (mandatory) (3 points)
calculate how many tablets for the daily dose for each of the prescriptions below:
order: ibuprofen 200 mg po tid
give:

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the prescription terms

"po tid" means "by mouth three times a day". The order is for 200 mg of Ibuprofen per dose, and we assume each tablet is 200 mg (since no other tablet strength is given, and typically for such problems, the tablet strength matches the ordered dose or we assume that here for simplicity).

Step2: Calculate daily tablets

Since we take the medication 3 times a day (tid) and each dose is 1 tablet (assuming 200 mg per tablet), the number of tablets per day is the number of doses per day. So we calculate \( 1 \text{ tablet per dose} \times 3 \text{ doses per day} \).
\( 1\times3 = 3 \)
