If a service user’s care plan states that they should take 2 tablets, 3 times per day, how many tablets will they take in 5 days?
If a service user is to take 2 tablets, 3 times per day, we can calculate the total number of tablets taken in one day first:
- Tablets per day = 2 tablets × 3 times = 6 tablets per day.
Now, to find out how many tablets they will take in 5 days:
- Total tablets in 5 days = 6 tablets per day × 5 days = 30 tablets.
Therefore, the service user will take a total of **30 tablets** in 5 days.
Update (2024-12-26):
To determine how many tablets a service user will take in 5 days, we first calculate the total number of tablets they take per day.
The service user takes 2 tablets, 3 times a day:
\[
2 \text{ tablets} \times 3 \text{ times/day} = 6 \text{ tablets/day}
\]
Now, we can calculate the total number of tablets taken in 5 days:
\[
6 \text{ tablets/day} \times 5 \text{ days} = 30 \text{ tablets}
\]
Therefore, the service user will take **30 tablets** in 5 days.
