Question

A physician orders 0.6 oz of magnesia and alumina oral suspension antacid 4 times per day for a patient. How many milliliters is the patient to ingest in a​ day? Note that 1 oz≈29.57 mL

Answer 1

Answer: Milliliters per day = 7.08 mL per day

Step-by-step explanation:

Milliliters per day = (Ounces per dose) x (Number of doses per day) x (Conversion factor)

Given:

Ounces per dose = 0.6 oz

Number of doses per day = 4 times

Conversion factor = 1 oz ≈ 29.57 mL

Now, plug these values into the formula:

Milliliters per day = (0.6 oz) x (4 times) x (29.57 mL/oz)

Milliliters per day = (0.6) x (4) x (29.57)

Milliliters per day = 7.08 mL per day

So, the patient should ingest approximately 7.08 milliliters of the magnesia and alumina oral suspension antacid per day.
