    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer magnesium hydroxide 15 mL PO to a school-age child. How many Tbsp should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

    Tbsp

    Explanation & Rationale

    Volume to be converted = 15 mL. Conversion factor. 1 Tbsp = 15 mL. Calculate the equivalent volume in tablespoons. Volume (Tbsp) = Volume (mL) / Conversion factor (mL/Tbsp) = 15 mL / 15 mL/Tbsp = 1 Tbsp.
