Answer :
Final answer:
The dosage of 2 tablespoons of Robitussin syrup, taken twice daily, is equivalent to 2.0 ounces.The correct answer is option a.
Explanation:
The patient/client was told to take 2 tablespoons of Robitussin (dextromethorphan) syrup, twice daily, to relieve his cough. The dosage of 2 tablespoons can be converted to ounces as follows:
1 tablespoon = 0.5 fluid ounces
Therefore, 2 tablespoons = 0.5 x 2 = 1 fluid ounce
Since the patient/client needs to take the dosage twice daily, the total amount of Robitussin syrup in ounces would be:
1 ounce x 2 = 2.0 ounces
