Understanding how to round milliliters (mL) to ounces (oz) is essential for the NAPLEX, especially when calculating accurate medication doses.
One ounce equals approximately 29.5735 mL, but for practical purposes, it’s often rounded to 30 mL.
For example:
2 oz = 60 mL (2 x 30 mL).
0.5 oz = 15 mL (0.5 x 30 mL).
Rounding simplifies calculations without compromising accuracy in most clinical scenarios.
Mastering this conversion is critical for pharmacists to ensure proper dosing and patient safety.
