5. The physician orders 600 mg of a medication daily split into three doses. The medication available is 100 mg per tablet. How many tablets will the pharmacy need to dispense to the patient for one-month supply? Assignment 2: Read the following case scenario, and respond to the questions in the grading rubric. 15 Points The physician orders 250 mg of an injectable medication.
