a patient brings in a prescription for 75 ml of liquid medication. which of the following bottle sizes should the pharmacy technician select to fill this prescription? 2 fl oz 3 fl oz 6 fl oz 8 fl oz

Explanation:

Step1: Convert fluid - ounces to milliliters

1 fluid - ounce is approximately 29.5735 mL.

Step2: Calculate the volume in mL for each option

For 2 fl oz: $2\times29.5735 = 59.147$ mL.
For 3 fl oz: $3\times29.5735=88.7205$ mL.
For 6 fl oz: $6\times29.5735 = 177.441$ mL.
For 8 fl oz: $8\times29.5735=236.588$ mL.

Step3: Select the appropriate bottle size

The prescription is for 75 mL. The bottle size should be equal to or greater than 75 mL. The 3 - fl oz bottle with a volume of approximately 88.7205 mL is the smallest size that can hold 75 mL.

3 fl oz
