Nursing Metric Conversion Questions

Question 1 of 5

How many grams are in 0.5 kilograms?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, we need to multiply by 1000 since 1 kilogram equals 1000 grams. Therefore, 0.5 kilograms x 1000 = 500 grams. This is why choice B, 500 grams, is correct. Choice A, 50 grams, is incorrect as it is the result of multiplying by 10 instead of 1000. Choice C, 5,000 grams, is incorrect as it is the result of multiplying by 10,000 which is not the correct conversion factor. Choice D, 0.5 grams, is incorrect as it is the original amount in grams, not the converted amount from kilograms.

Question 2 of 5

What is 0.004 as a ratio?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To express 0.004 as a ratio, we can consider it as 4/1000. Simplifying this gives us 1/250. Therefore, the correct ratio is 1:250. Choice A is incorrect as it simplifies to 1:2. Choice C simplifies to 1:4. Choice D is equivalent to 4:0, which is undefined in ratio form. The correct answer, B, accurately represents 0.004 as a ratio of 1:250.

Question 3 of 5

How many feet are in one mile?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 5280 feet in one mile. This is because 1 mile is equivalent to 5280 feet. This conversion is a standard unit of measurement in the Imperial system. Choice A, 5000 feet, is too low and does not accurately represent the length of a mile. Choice C, 5300 feet, and choice D, 5500 feet, are both higher than the actual value of 5280 feet, making them incorrect. To convert miles to feet, we multiply by the conversion factor of 5280.

Question 4 of 5

How many pints are in one quart?

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.

Question 5 of 5

What is 0.5 liters to milliliters?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1000 since 1 liter equals 1000 milliliters. So, 0.5 liters * 1000 = 500 ml. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 500 ml. Choice B (50 ml) is incorrect as it is 10 times less than the correct answer. Choice C (5 ml) is incorrect as it is 100 times less, and choice D (0.5 ml) is incorrect as it is the original volume in milliliters, not the conversion from liters.
