1. true
2. false

question 9 (2.5 points)
it is safest and most accurate to give the fewest number of whole, undivided tablets possible.

1. true
2. false

Explanation:

Question 8

When calculating medication doses for tablets or capsules, the "amount on hand" (the strength of each tablet/capsule) is not always 1. For example, a tablet could be 5 mg, so the amount on hand is 5 mg per tablet, not 1. Thus the statement is false.

Giving the fewest number of whole, undivided tablets is safest and most accurate because dividing tablets can lead to inaccurate dosing (e.g., uneven splitting) and increases the risk of error. So the statement is true.

Answer:

1. False
