Calculation
A nurse is preparing to administer 7.5 mL of ampicillin 250 mg oral suspension to a toddler who has otitis media. The nurse should recognize that 7.5 mL is equivalent to how many tsp? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
tsp
Explanation & Rationale
Calculation: Volume to be converted = 7.5 mL. 1 tsp = 5 mL. Calculate the equivalent volume in teaspoons. Volume (tsp) = Volume (mL) / Conversion factor (mL/tsp) = 7.5 mL / 5 mL/tsp = 1.5 tsp.
