Conversion is the first step in dosage calculations for medication administration, as medications may not always be prescribed in the same unit. Memorizing the conversions will help you with dosage calculations and administration. For volume, one milliliter (mL) is equivalent to one cubic centimeter (cc). Five milliliters (mL) is equivalent to one teaspoon (tsp). Fifteen milliliters (mL) is equivalent to one tablespoon (tbsp). Thirty milliliters (mL) is equivalent to one fluid ounce (oz). One thousand milliliters (mL) is equivalent to one liter (L). Two tablespoons (tbsp) equivalent to one fluid ounce (oz). Eight fluid ounces (oz) is equivalent to one cup.
