Nursing Metric Conversions Questions

Question 1 of 5

Convert 0.004 to a ratio.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert 0.004 to a ratio, we need to express it in the form of a fraction. 0.004 as a fraction is 4/1000, which simplifies to 1/250. Therefore, the correct ratio is 1:250. Choice A is correct as it represents the simplified form of 0.004. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the conversion of 0.004 to a ratio.

Question 2 of 5

How many liters (L) are equal to 1 kiloliter?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 1,000 liters. The prefix "kilo-" represents 1,000 units. Therefore, 1 kiloliter is equal to 1,000 liters. Rationale: 1 kiloliter = 1,000 liters A: 100 liters - Incorrect, not equivalent to a kiloliter. C: 10 liters - Incorrect, too small to be a kiloliter. D: 10,000 liters - Incorrect, greater than the value of a kiloliter.

Question 3 of 5

How many ounces are in 2 quarts?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To convert from quarts to ounces, you need to know that 1 quart is equal to 32 ounces. Therefore, 2 quarts would be 2 * 32 = 64 ounces. The correct answer is C (16 ounces) because it is the only option that correctly states the conversion from quarts to ounces. Option A (8 ounces) is incorrect as it is half of the correct answer. Option B (32 ounces) is incorrect as it represents the amount in 1 quart, not 2 quarts. Option D (64 ounces) is incorrect as it corresponds to the total number of ounces in 2 quarts, not the conversion from quarts to ounces.

Question 4 of 5

What does 'm' stand for in the metric system?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: meter. In the metric system, 'm' stands for meter, which is the base unit of length. Mole (B) is a unit of amount of substance, milli (C) represents a prefix meaning one-thousandth, and micro (D) represents a prefix meaning one-millionth. Therefore, A is the correct choice as it directly corresponds to the unit of length in the metric system.

Question 5 of 5

What is 0.5 liters equivalent to?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 500 ml. 0.5 liters is equal to 500 milliliters because there are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter. Therefore, to convert 0.5 liters to milliliters, you multiply 0.5 by 1000 which equals 500 ml. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately convert liters to milliliters. B is too small, C and D are significantly smaller than the correct conversion.
