Nursing Metric Conversion

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: milligram. In the metric system, 'mg' stands for milligram, which is a unit of mass equal to one thousandth of a gram. To determine the correct answer, you need to understand the metric prefixes. 'Micro' means one millionth, 'milli' means one thousandth, 'giga' means one billion, and 'mega' means one million. Therefore, A is incorrect because 'micro' is smaller than 'milli', C is incorrect because 'giga' is much larger than 'milli', and D is incorrect because 'megagram' is a unit equal to one million grams, not milligrams.

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.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1000 since 1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters. Therefore, 0.5 liters x 1000 = 500 milliliters. So, the correct answer is A: 500 ml. Explanation of other choices: B: 50 ml - Incorrect, this would be the equivalent of 0.05 liters. C: 5 ml - Incorrect, this would be the equivalent of 0.005 liters. D: 0.5 ml - Incorrect, this is the same value as the given amount in liters, not the conversion to milliliters.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert grams to milligrams, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 milligrams in a gram. So, 0.04 grams * 1000 = 40 milligrams. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 40 mg. Incorrect choices: B: 4 mg - This is incorrect because it does not account for the conversion factor of 1000. C: 400 mg - This is incorrect as it is a result of multiplying by 10 instead of 1000. D: 0.4 mg - This is incorrect as it is the result of dividing by 10 instead of multiplying by 1000.
