Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
1 tsp
Rationale:
✍The nurse should instruct the client to take 1 teaspoon (tsp) for 5 mL, because the correct household-to-metric conversion is:
- 1 tsp = 5 mL.
✍Administering medication using proper conversion ensures safe dosing and prevents overdose or underdose, especially in home settings where patients rely on common household tools.
✍This also promotes clear client understanding and adherence to prescribed therapy.
