    Explanation
    To answer this question, the nurse needs to calculate the number of tablets required to give the prescribed dose of metronidazole. The formula for this is: Number of tablets = (Prescribed dose) / (Available dose) Plugging in the values from the question, we get: Number of tablets = (2 g) / (500 mg) Since 1 g = 1000 mg, we can convert 2 g to 2000 mg and simplify the fraction: Number of tablets = (2000 mg) / (500 mg) = 4
