Step 1: Calculate the total number of teaspoons dispensed to each patient. Patient A: 4 tsp; patient B: 1 tbsp = 3 tsp; 3 tsp F1F1F1S1F1F1F10 2 = 6 tsp; patient C: 2 F1F1F1S1F1F1F10 1½ tsp = 3 tsp. Step 2: Total the number of teaspoons dispensed from the bottle. 4 + 6 + 3 = 13 tsp. Step 3: Calculate the total volume dispensed in milliliters. 13 tsp F1F1F1S1F1F1F10 5 ml/tsp = 65 ml. Step 4: Determine how many milliliters of liquid medication were originally contained in the stock bottle. 8 oz F1F1F1S1F1F1F10 30 ml/oz = 240 ml. Step 5: Determine the remaining amount of liquid medication. Volume of medication remaining = 240 ml - 65 ml = 175 ml.
