Nursing Metric Conversion

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in 1 kilogram. So, 5 kilograms x 1000 = 5000 grams, which makes choice C the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly apply the conversion factor of 1000.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, we know that 1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters. Therefore, to convert 0.04 liters to milliliters, we multiply 0.04 by 1000, which equals 40 milliliters. This makes choice A the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert 0.04 liters to milliliters using the conversion factor of 1 liter = 1000 milliliters.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert millimeters to meters, you divide by 1000 since there are 1000 millimeters in a meter. So, 354,000 mm ÷ 1000 = 354 m. Choice B is correct as it correctly converts millimeters to meters. Choice A is incorrect as it doesn't account for the conversion. Choice C is incorrect as it converts to kilometers instead of meters. Choice D is incorrect as it is a miscalculation of the conversion.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert Celsius to Kelvin, add 273.15. So, for 25°C, add 273.15 to get 298.15 K (Choice A). Choice B (273.15 K) is the freezing point of water in Kelvin, not the correct conversion for 25°C. Choices C (250 K) and D (25 K) are incorrect as they do not follow the correct conversion formula.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 2 pints in one quart. A quart is equivalent to 2 pints. This is because there are 2 pints in a quart by definition. To convert pints to quarts, you divide the number of pints by 2. Therefore, the correct answer is 2 pints. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not align with the conversion factor of 2 pints in one quart. Answer A is too low, C is too high, and D is also too high based on the conversion factor.
