Question:

You have received the following order:

Dilaudid 2 mg

One tablet po every 4-6 hours for 3 days.

What is the maximum number of tablets you should prepare to be dispensed?

Solution

Time $t = 3\text{days} = 3 \cdot 24 = 72\text{hours}$

If interrupt sleep on pills, we need 72hours / 4 + 1 = 18tablets.

Time $t = 3\text{days} = 3 \cdot 24 = 72\text{hours}$

If a person sleeps 8 hours a day, we need $(72\text{hours} - 3 \cdot 8\text{hours}) / 4 + 1 = 13$ tablets
