200

Global Rationale: Because the frequency of the medication has changed, begin by determining the original total daily dose by multiplying 400 mg x 3 = 1200 mg. Then determine the changed dose by multiplying 600 mg x 4 = 2400 mg. Then use the equation Fraction of Change = Change/Original, or Fraction of Change = 2400/1200 = 2.00 or 200. The client's dose was changed by 200.
