Final answer:
The patient would receive 19.72 milliliters of medication in 24 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the number of milliliters of medication that the patient would receive in 24 hours, we need to determine how many doses of medication the patient would take in that time frame and then convert that to milliliters.
The patient receives 1 dose of medication every 6 hours, which means in 24 hours, the patient would take 24 / 6 = 4 doses of medication.
Each dose is 1 teaspoon, which is approximately 4.93 milliliters. So, the patient would receive 4 doses x 4.93 milliliters/dose = 19.72 milliliters in 24 hours.
