harmacy technician receives a prescription for sulfamethoxazol e/trimethoprim (Bactrim)suspension 1 tsp qid x 10 days. Which of the follo kages should the technician use to dispense this prescription? A 6-02 prescription bottle An 8-oz prescription bottle The original packaging A.4-02 prescription bottle

## Step 1<br />The problem involves a prescription for sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (Bactrim) suspension, which is to be dispensed in a 1 teaspoon (tsp) quantity, four times a day (qid), for 10 days. The technician needs to choose the correct packaging for this prescription.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />The total volume of the medication required can be calculated by multiplying the daily dosage by the number of days. In this case, the daily dosage is 1 tsp and the number of days is 10. Therefore, the total volume required is \(1 \, \text{tsp} \times 4 \times 10 = 40 \, \text{tsp}\).<br /><br />## Step 3<br />Next, we need to convert the total volume from teaspoons to ounces, as the options provided are in ounces. We know that 1 ounce is equivalent to 6 teaspoons. Therefore, the total volume required in ounces is \(40 \, \text{tsp} \div 6 = 6.67 \, \text{oz}\).<br /><br />## Step 4<br />Finally, we compare the total volume required with the options provided. The closest option that can accommodate the required volume is the 8-oz prescription bottle.
