Answer to Question 1

three teaspoons
3 teaspoons

Answer to Question 2

1

Rationale 1: Using 2 mL to reconstitute the medication will produce the lowest volume since the dose of 750 mg would be administered in 1.5 mL of the medication or 750/1000 x 1 mL = 0.75 mL. The other volumes will cause the nurse to administer a larger volume.
