Correct Answer is ["2"]

Explanation

To answer this question, we need to use the formula:

Dose ordered / Dose available = Number of tablets

In this case, the dose ordered is 3 mg and the dose available is 1.5 mg. So we plug in the values and get:

3 mg / 1.5 mg = 2 tablets

Therefore, the nurse should administer 2 tablets of dexamethasone 1.5 mg to give a total of 3 mg.
