Nursing Metric Conversions Questions

Question 1 of 5

How many milligrams are in 2 grams?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert grams to milligrams, you need to multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 milligrams in 1 gram. So, 2 grams x 1,000 = 2,000 mg. Therefore, the correct answer is B. A: 200 mg - This is incorrect as it doesn't account for the conversion factor from grams to milligrams. C: 20 mg - This is incorrect as it is 100 times less than the correct conversion. D: 20,000 mg - This is incorrect as it is 10 times greater than the correct conversion.

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 milliliters are in 1.5 liters?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1000 since 1 liter = 1000 milliliters. Therefore, 1.5 liters x 1000 = 1500 milliliters. So, the correct answer is B: 1,500 mL. A is incorrect as it is 10 times less than the correct answer. C is incorrect as it is 10 times less than the correct answer. D is incorrect as it is 100 times more than the correct answer.

Question 4 of 5

What is 0.26 as a fraction in simplest form?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert 0.26 to a fraction, we can write it as 26/100 since 0.26 is equivalent to 26 hundredths. To simplify this fraction, we divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2. Therefore, 26/100 simplifies to 13/50. This is the correct answer (A) in simplest form. Choice B (26/100) is the initial form of 0.26 but not in simplest form as it can be further simplified to 13/50. Choice C (26/1000) is incorrect as the decimal 0.26 is equivalent to 26/100, not 26/1000. Choice D (1/4) is not equivalent to 0.26.

Question 5 of 5

Convert 3,540 liters to milliliters (mL).

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1000 because there are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter. So, 3,540 liters x 1000 = 3,540,000 mL. Therefore, choice B (3,540,000 mL) is the correct answer. Choice A (354,000 mL) is incorrect because it doesn't account for the conversion factor. Choice C (35,400 mL) and choice D (35,400,000 mL) are also incorrect as they do not correctly apply the conversion factor.
