Metric Conversions for Nursing Questions
Question 1 of 5
What is 0.5 liters in ml?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you multiply by 1000 since 1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters. Therefore, 0.5 liters is equal to 0.5 x 1000 = 500 ml. Choice A (500 ml) is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not follow the correct conversion factor of 1 liter to 1000 milliliters. B (50 ml), C (5 ml), and D (0.5 ml) are not the correct conversions for 0.5 liters.
Question 2 of 5
What is the equivalent of 3.54 millimeters in meters (m)?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert millimeters to meters, we divide by 1000 since there are 1000 millimeters in a meter. Therefore, 3.54 mm in meters is 3.54/1000 = 0.00354 meters. Choice B is correct as it correctly converts 3.54 mm to meters. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not apply the correct conversion factor. Choice A incorrectly moves the decimal point two places to the left instead of three. Choice C incorrectly multiplies by 10 instead of dividing by 1000. Choice D incorrectly moves the decimal point one place to the left instead of three.
Question 3 of 5
How many millimeters (mm) are in 3.45 meters?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 3,450 mm. To convert meters to millimeters, we know that 1 meter is equal to 1,000 millimeters. Therefore, to find how many millimeters are in 3.45 meters, we multiply 3.45 by 1,000, which equals 3,450 mm. Incorrect choices: A: 345 mm - Incorrect because it is the result of multiplying 3.45 by 100 (not 1,000). C: 345,000 mm - Incorrect as it is the result of incorrectly multiplying 3.45 by 100,000. D: 3.45 mm - Incorrect as it is the original amount in meters, not the converted amount in millimeters.
Question 4 of 5
Convert 0.345 kilometers to meters (m).
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert kilometers to meters, we need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 meters in 1 kilometer. Therefore, 0.345 km * 1000 = 345 meters. Choice B, 345 meters, is the correct answer. Choice A (3.45 m) is incorrect as it doesn't account for the conversion factor of 1000. Choice C (345 cm) is incorrect as it converts to centimeters instead of meters. Choice D (345 m) is incorrect as it matches the correct answer but lacks the necessary conversion step.
Question 5 of 5
Convert 100 grams to kilograms.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert grams to kilograms, divide the number of grams by 1000. In this case, 100 grams divided by 1000 equals 0.1 kilograms (A). Choice B is incorrect because it represents the equivalent of 1000 grams, not 100 grams. Choice C is incorrect as it represents 10 times the amount of 100 grams. Choice D is incorrect as it represents one-hundredth of 100 grams, not the correct conversion.
