A hospitalized patient who is prescribed lovastatin (Mevacor) 80 mg orally looks at the four tablets the nurse provides and says “At home, I only take two pills for 80 mg. I think this is too many pills.” What is the nurse’s best action?
a.   Hold the dose and contact the prescriber.
b.   Remind the patient that the prescriber knows what is best for his or her particular health problem.
c.   Explain that each tablet contains 20 mg of the drug instead of 40 mg, and that four 20-mg tablets are the same dosage as two 40-mg tablets.
d.   Explain to the patient that while at home a lower dosage of the drug may have been prescribed than what is required while being hospitalized.
