A client is prescribed to receive 0.12 liters of a liquid preparation every 6 hours. When at home, how many tablespoons of the medication should the client take to equal this amount?
1. 6
2. 8
3. 10
4. 12
2
Rationale 1: T of liquid preparation = 1 T/15 mL x 1000 mL/1 L x 0.12 L/1. Multiply the numerators (1 x 1000 x 0.12 = 120). Multiply the denominators (15 mL x 1 x 1 = 15). 120/15 = 8 T.
