Calculating Medication Dosages

Question 10 • Introduction to Health Science - EL3601 B

Healthcare professionals might not always have the exact medication available for a medication order. They will need to make conversions. Which is the correct conversion?

Answer
A
1 kg = 1000 g
B
1 L = 10 milliliters
C
1 g = 100 mcg
D
1 mg = 0.05 mcg

Explanation

The metric conversion is 1 kilogram (kg) = 1,000 grams (g), so choice A is correct. One liter equals 1,000 milliliters, not 10. Also, 1 gram equals 1,000,000 micrograms, and 1 milligram equals 1,000 micrograms, so choices C and D are incorrect.
