A caregiver needs to measure a liquid medication dose at home. Which approach best reduces measurement error?

  1. A

    Use a household teaspoon because it always holds exactly 5 mL5\,\mathrm{mL}.

  2. B

    Use an oral syringe or the supplied dosing device because household spoons vary in size.

  3. C

    Use a spoon measured by weight, since weight and liquid volume are interchangeable.

  4. D

    A fluid ounce measures mass, while an ounce by weight measures volume.

  3. C

    A fluid ounce measures volume, while an ounce by weight measures mass.

  4. D
