a patient has an order written for 135ml of an oral liquid. what size bottle should be used to the prescription.
a. 3fl oz
b. 4fl oz
c 6fl oz
d. 8fl oz
i used my conversion 1 fl oz=29.57
29.57x6=180ml which is the closest to the answer c.6fl oz
is that correct?
No, that is not correct. 135ml is less than 6fl oz, so a smaller bottle would be needed.
Using the conversion you provided, we can determine that:
- 3fl oz = 88.72ml
- 4fl oz = 118.29ml
- 6fl oz = 177.44ml
- 8fl oz = 236.58ml
Since 135ml falls between 118.29ml and 177.44ml, the answer would be either a 4fl oz or 6fl oz bottle. Since the 6fl oz bottle is closer to the required amount, the correct answer would be c. 6fl oz.
