Nursing Metric Conversion Questions

Question 1 of 5

What does 'L' stand for in the metric system?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: liter. In the metric system, 'L' stands for liter, which is a unit of volume. The liter is commonly used to measure liquid volumes. The other choices, B: log, C: link, and D: lever, do not represent units of measurement in the metric system. Log is a mathematical function, link is a unit of distance in surveying, and lever is a simple machine. Therefore, the correct answer is A: liter, as it is the only choice that corresponds to a valid unit of measurement in the metric system.

Question 2 of 5

What is 0.07 expressed as a fraction?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To express 0.07 as a fraction, we consider the decimal places. Since there are two decimal places in 0.07, we write it as 7/100. This simplifies to 7/100 as the correct fraction. Option A is correct as it represents 0.07 accurately. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not match the decimal value of 0.07. B is 1/10, C is 1/20, and D is 1/50, which are not equivalent to 0.07.

Question 3 of 5

What is the result of multiplying 0.15 by 3?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the result of multiplying 0.15 by 3, we simply multiply the two numbers together. 0.15 * 3 = 0.45. This is because when you multiply a decimal by a whole number, you multiply the decimal part as usual and then place the decimal point in the product according to the total number of decimal places in the numbers being multiplied. In this case, 0.15 has two decimal places, and 3 is a whole number, so the product is 0.45. Choice A (0.05) is incorrect as it is the result of multiplying 0.15 by 0.33, not 3. Choice B (0.15) is incorrect as it is the original number being multiplied, not the result. Choice D (0.45) is incorrect as it is the same as the correct answer, but repeated in the choices, which usually does not happen in multiple-choice questions.

Question 4 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 5 of 5

What is 0.6 liters converted to milliliters?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, we know that 1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters. Therefore, 0.6 liters would be equal to 0.6 x 1000 = 600 milliliters. This makes choice A (600 ml) the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not follow the correct conversion factor of 1 liter to 1000 milliliters. Choice B (60 ml) is ten times less than the correct answer, choice C (6 ml) is one hundred times less, and choice D (0.6 ml) is one thousand times less than the correct conversion.
