Answer to Question 1

You would give two tablets.
250 mcg = 0.25 mg
0.25mg/1tablet = 0.5mg/ x
0.25x = 0.5; x = 2tablets
Be sure students do not omit the leading zero before the decimal point (.25 mg) and they do not
add a trailing zero after the 5 (0.250 mg).

Answer to Question 2

No Coreg CR is a controlled-release formulation, which is released slowly, and the dosages are
different. The plain Coreg is an immediate-release formulation. The two are not interchangeable.
