What is the oral dose range for aspirin listed in the material?

• A. 160-324 mg PO (2-4 tablets)
• B. 300-600 mg PO
• C. 75-100 mg PO
• D. 1000 mg PO

Answer: (A)

The concept being tested is the standard oral aspirin dose used in EMS for suspected acute coronary syndrome. The material specifies a single dose of 160-324 mg taken by mouth, typically 2-4 tablets. This range provides a quick antiplatelet effect to help limit clot growth, while staying within safety limits. Chewing the tablet helps absorption and speeds onset, which is important in acute settings. The other options don’t fit because they are either below the recommended range, exceed it, or are otherwise not aligned with the stated guidance: 300-600 mg goes beyond the upper limit, 75-100 mg is too low for rapid effect, and 1000 mg is unnecessarily high.
