A patient needs to receive 1 teaspoon of medication per day for one week. How many milliliters of medication must be dispensed in total?

A. 7 mL
B. 35 mL
C. 70 mL
D. 105 mL

Answer:
5ml (a teaspoon) x 7 days = 35 ml, if this is nursing school homework. In real life, a little more is a good idea to account for wastage. Any parent who's had a baby spit a mouthful of Tylenol on him knows that.
b
35 ml
1 teaspoon = 4.92892159375 mL.
1 week = 7 days.

1 teaspoon is 4.92 mL, taken once per day for seven days is:
4.92 x 7 = 34.5 mL
B. However, liquids being dispensed using a teaspoon can allow for the full dose not getting into the mouth, spillage. Most pharmacies have droppers that can be used to measure liquid medicines. If you are uncertain about giving the correct dose, amt. then you can always ask a Pharmacist.
Hi! 1 tsp is 5 ml so in a week's time, 35 ml is consumed. To be accurate, it is better to use a dropper in measuring the exact amount. Using a household teaspoon is accurate since some teaspoons are bigger or smaller than others.
