The idea
Patients often measure medicine with household units, so you need their metric equivalents.
In practice
One teaspoon equals five milliliters; one tablespoon equals three teaspoons, or fifteen milliliters; one ounce equals thirty milliliters; one cup equals eight ounces, or two hundred forty milliliters.
Where people slip
A kitchen spoon is not a measuring spoon; teach patients to use a marked device.
