Nursing Metric Conversion Questions

Question 1 of 5

What is 0.5 liters to milliliters?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1000 since 1 liter equals 1000 milliliters. So, 0.5 liters * 1000 = 500 ml. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 500 ml. Choice B (50 ml) is incorrect as it is 10 times less than the correct answer. Choice C (5 ml) is incorrect as it is 100 times less, and choice D (0.5 ml) is incorrect as it is the original volume in milliliters, not the conversion from liters.

Question 2 of 5

Convert 25 millimeters to centimeters.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To convert millimeters to centimeters, we divide by 10 since there are 10 millimeters in 1 centimeter. Therefore, 25 mm / 10 = 2.5 cm. The correct answer is D: 25 mm, as it represents the initial quantity to be converted. Choices A and B are incorrect as they do not follow the conversion factor. Choice C is incorrect as it represents the original unit rather than the converted unit.

Question 3 of 5

Which metric prefix represents 10^-2?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: centi. The metric prefix "centi" represents 10^-2, which means one hundredth. This is because "centi" comes from the Latin word for hundred. Therefore, when using this prefix, the base unit is divided by 100. The other choices are incorrect because: B: milli represents 10^-3, which is one thousandth. C: nano represents 10^-9, which is one billionth. D: deci represents 10^-1, which is one-tenth.

Question 4 of 5

How many ounces are in 0.5 liters?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert liters to ounces, we need to know that 1 liter is approximately 33.814 ounces. Therefore, 0.5 liters is 0.5 x 33.814 = 16.907 ounces, which is rounded to 16.91 oz. Choice A is correct because it accurately represents the conversion. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate conversion from liters to ounces.

Question 5 of 5

Convert 0.025 mg to micrograms.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert milligrams (mg) to micrograms (mcg), you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 micrograms in 1 milligram. So, 0.025 mg x 1000 = 25 mcg, which is option A. Option B is incorrect as it incorrectly multiplies by 10. Option C is incorrect as it incorrectly divides by 10. Option D is incorrect as it incorrectly divides by 100. Always remember the conversion factor of 1000 when converting between milligrams and micrograms.
