Pharmacy Technician Certification Board Practice Exam Practice Question

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To determine the number of tablets needed, first convert the prescribed dosage from milligrams to grams. Since 1000 mg equals 1 g, and each tablet contains 0.1 g, the calculation involves dividing the total dosage by the amount per tablet:

1 g ÷ 0.1 g/tablet = 10 tablets.

Option A (1 tablet) is incorrect as it underestimates the required dosage. Option C (100 tablets) overestimates, as 100 tablets would equal 10 g, which is excessive. Option D (1000 tablets) is also incorrect, as it suggests an unrealistic quantity far exceeding the required dosage. Thus, 10 tablets is the accurate amount needed for the patient.
