Nursing Metric Conversion Questions

Question 1 of 5

How many milliliters are in a tablespoon?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 15 ml. A standard tablespoon is equivalent to 15 ml. This is a standard measurement in culinary and pharmaceutical fields. A tablespoon is commonly used for measuring liquid ingredients and medications. Choice A (10 ml) and Choice D (20 ml) are incorrect as they do not correspond to the standard measurement of a tablespoon. Choice C (5 ml) is also incorrect as it is too low to be the equivalent of a tablespoon. Therefore, B is the correct answer.

Question 2 of 5

What unit is used to measure density in the metric system?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale after 5 retries.

Question 3 of 5

What is the equivalent temperature in Kelvin if the temperature is measured at 25 degrees Celsius?

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.

Question 4 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 5 of 5

Convert 0.2 liters to milliliters. What is the equivalent volume?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert 0.2 liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter. So, 0.2 liters x 1000 = 200 milliliters, which is equivalent to 200 ml. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Other choices are incorrect because they do not follow the correct conversion factor. A is 10 times less, C is 100 times less, and D is 10 times more than the correct answer.
