Final answer:
The patient will receive 3 ounces of medication in 24 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the total ounces of medication the patient will receive in 24 hours, we need to determine the total teaspoons of Enulose the patient will take in a day and then convert it to ounces. The client is scheduled to receive 6 tsp of Enulose three times a day, so we multiply 6 tsp by 3 to get the total teaspoons in a day, which is 18 tsp. To convert teaspoons to ounces, we know that 1 teaspoon is equal to 0.166667 ounces. Multiplying the total teaspoons by the conversion factor gives us 18 tsp * 0.166667 oz/tsp = 3 oz of medication.
