Metric Conversions for Nursing Questions
Question 1 of 5
What is the equivalent of 0.3 mg in ml?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert mg to ml, we need to know the density of the substance. Assuming water density, 1 mg = 1 ml. Therefore, 0.3 mg is equivalent to 0.3 ml. Other choices are incorrect because they do not correspond to the correct conversion factor or are off by a factor of 10.
Question 2 of 5
What is 0.5 liters in milliliters?
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 ml. Choice A (500 ml) is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately convert liters to milliliters.
Question 3 of 5
What does the prefix 'milli' mean?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The prefix 'milli' denotes 1/1000, which is equivalent to 0.001. This means that any unit following 'milli' is divided by 1000. Therefore, the correct answer is B, 0.001. Choice A (0.01) is incorrect as it represents the prefix 'centi,' which means 1/100. Choice C (0.0001) is incorrect as it represents the prefix 'micro,' which means 1/1,000,000. Choice D (0.00001) is incorrect as it represents the prefix 'nano,' which means 1/1,000,000,000.
Question 4 of 5
What is 0.5 liter in ounces?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert liters to ounces, we need to know that 1 liter is equal to 33.814 ounces. Therefore, 0.5 liter would be 0.5 * 33.814 = 16.907 ounces. Rounding to two decimal places, the correct answer is 16.91 oz (choice A). Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the conversion of 0.5 liter to ounces.
Question 5 of 5
Convert 0.0345 kilograms to grams (g).
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert from kilograms to grams, you multiply the value in kilograms by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in one kilogram. Therefore, 0.0345 kg * 1000 = 34.5 grams. Choice B (34.5 grams) is correct. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert kilograms to grams. Choice A is off by a factor of 10, choice C is off by a factor of 100, and choice D is off by a factor of 1000.
