tablespoon
gram
milliliter
ounces
question 2 (2.5 points)
which of the following drugs is commonly ordered in milliequivalents (meq)?
sodium bicarbonate
heparin
aspirin

Explanation:

Question 1

• Tablespoon is a non - metric (or imperial/US customary) unit for volume, not the most common in the metric system for liquids.
• Gram is a metric unit for mass, not for measuring the volume of liquids.
• Milliliter is a metric unit for volume and is commonly used to measure liquids in the metric system.
• Ounces are part of the imperial/US customary system, not metric.

• Sodium bicarbonate is commonly ordered in milliequivalents (mEq) because it is an electrolyte - related drug, and milliequivalents are used to measure the chemical activity of electrolytes.
• Heparin is typically measured in units (e.g., international units).
• Aspirin is usually measured in milligrams or grams (mass - based units).

Answer:

C. Milliliter
