Question

According to Mrs. Adams doctor’s order, she is to take 10 ml of sucralfate QID for her duodenal ulcers. If giving Mrs. Adams this medication using a teaspoon, how many teaspoons would you give her and how many times a day would you give this to her?

Answer 1

Assuming that a teaspoon is equal to 5 ml, we can calculate the number of teaspoons to give Mrs. Adams as follows:

10 ml ÷ 5 ml/teaspoon = 2 teaspoons

Therefore, Mrs. Adams should be given 2 teaspoons of sucralfate four times a day (QID).
