Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 30

There are 15 milliliters in 1 tablespoon. If the nurse needs to give 2 tablespoons, 15 X 2 = 30 milliliters.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 540

There are 30 milliliters in each ounce. The client drank 8 + 6 + 4 ounces = 18 ounces. 18 X 30 = 540 milliliters.
