Nursing Metric Conversion Questions

Question 1 of 5

Convert 35.40 kilograms to grams (g).

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in 1 kilogram. Therefore, 35.40 kg x 1000 = 35,400 g (Choice B). This is the correct answer because it correctly applies the conversion factor. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly convert kilograms to grams. Choice A is too small, Choice C is missing a zero, and Choice D incorrectly divides instead of multiplies.

Question 2 of 5

What is 0.5 liters in milliliters?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert from liters to milliliters, you multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter. So, 0.5 liters x 1000 = 500 ml. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A is incorrect because 0.5 liters is not equal to 50 ml. Choice C is incorrect because 0.5 liters is not equal to 5 ml. Choice D is incorrect because 0.5 liters is not equal to 0.5 ml.

Question 3 of 5

What is 0.05 mcg in mg?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert micrograms (mcg) to milligrams (mg), we need to remember that 1 mcg is equal to 0.001 mg. Therefore, to convert 0.05 mcg to mg, we multiply 0.05 by 0.001 which gives us 0.00005 mg. This makes choice A the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert micrograms to milligrams based on the conversion factor of 0.001 mg per mcg.

Question 4 of 5

What is 1500 milliliters in liters?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert milliliters to liters, you need to divide by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter. Therefore, 1500 milliliters divided by 1000 equals 1.5 liters. Choice A (1.5 liters) is correct because it accurately represents the conversion. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not follow the correct conversion factor of dividing by 1000. Choice B (0.15 liters) is one decimal place off, choice C (15 liters) is an order of magnitude too high, and choice D (0.015 liters) is two decimal places off.

Question 5 of 5

Convert 0.5 liters to milliliters.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter. Therefore, 0.5 liters x 1000 = 500 milliliters, which is choice B. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not follow the correct conversion factor from liters to milliliters.
