First, let\u2019s recall the conversion factor from teaspoons to tablespoons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1 tablespoon (TBSP) = 3 teaspoons (tsp)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In 24 hours, the patient receives 25 mL every 6 hours, so in total, that\u2019s 4 doses per day: 25\u2009mL\u00d74=100\u2009mL25 \\, \\text{mL} \\times 4 = 100 \\, \\text{mL}25mL\u00d74=100mL<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since we already know that 25 mL is equivalent to 5 teaspoons, the total in 24 hours is: 5\u2009tsp\u00d74=20\u2009tsp5 \\, \\text{tsp} \\times 4 = 20 \\, \\text{tsp}5tsp\u00d74=20tsp<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, convert the 20 teaspoons to tablespoons: 20\u2009tsp3=6.67\u2009TBSP\\frac{20 \\, \\text{tsp}}{3} = 6.67 \\, \\text{TBSP}320tsp\u200b=6.67TBSP<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, the patient is receiving approximately <strong>6.67 tablespoons<\/strong> of the liquid medication in a 24-hour period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Answer:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This process involved straightforward unit conversions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/learnexams-banner6-341.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-253264\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A young patient is being given a liquid medication of 25 milliliters every 6 hours.
