A nurse is preparing to administer magnesium hydroxide/aluminum hydroxide 30 mL PO to an adolescent. How many oz 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.)

Step 1: Identify the conversion factor. We need to convert milliliters (mL) to ounces (oz). The conversion factor is: 1 ounce (oz) = 30 milliliters (mL) Step 2: Set up the conversion. The prescribed dose is 30 mL. We want to convert 30 mL to ounces. Using the conversion factor: Amount in oz=Amount in mL/Conversion factor=30 mL/30 mL/oz Step 3: Perform the calculation. Amount in oz=30/30=1 oz Step 4: Round the answer (if needed). 1 oz is a whole number
