How much of the liquid antibiotic should the parents administer each dose if their child has been receiving 5 mL 3 times each day?

  1. 1 fluid ounce

  2. 1 teaspoon

  3. 15 drops

  4. 2 tablespoons

The correct answer is: 1 teaspoon

The correct answer is B. 1 teaspoon. In this scenario, the child has been receiving 5 mL of liquid antibiotic three times a day. Since 1 teaspoon is approximately equal to 5 mL, the parents should administer 1 teaspoon for each dose as instructed by the healthcare provider. Options A, C, and D are incorrect: A. 1 fluid ounce is equivalent to around 30 mL, which is significantly larger than the 5 mL dose the child has been prescribed. C. 15 drops is not a standardized or accurate measurement for administering liquid medication, making it an inappropriate choice for dosing. D. 2 tablespoons is approximately equal to 30 mL, which is also larger than the prescribed 5 mL dose for the child.
