Metric Conversions for Nursing

1. What is 0.2 liters when converted to milliliters?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1000, not 10000. Therefore, 0.2 liters equals 200 ml (0.2 x 1000 = 200 ml). Choice A, 20 ml, is incorrect because it's the result of multiplying by 10 instead of 1000. Choice C, 2 ml, is incorrect as it's the result of ignoring the decimal point. Choice D, 2000 ml, is incorrect because it's the result of multiplying by 10000.

2. What is the equivalent of 3.54 millimeters in meters (m)?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert millimeters to meters, you need to divide by 1,000 since there are 1,000 millimeters in a meter. Therefore, 3.54 mm รท 1,000 = 0.00354 meters. Choice A (0.0354 m) is incorrect as it is 10 times the correct conversion. Choice C (35.4 m) is incorrect as it would be the equivalent of 35,400 millimeters. Choice D (0.035 m) is also incorrect as it is 100 times greater than the correct conversion.

3. Which of the following is equal to 0.16 inches?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 0.16 inches. This value is already in its simplest form and represents sixteen one-hundredths of an inch. Choice A, 0.016 inches, is incorrect as it represents sixteen thousandths of an inch, not the given value. Choice C, 1.6 inches, is incorrect as it represents one and six-tenths inches, which is larger than the given value. Choice D, 16 inches, is incorrect as it represents sixteen inches, which is significantly larger than the given value of 0.16 inches.

4. What is 0.5 x 200?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the product of 0.5 and 200, you multiply the two numbers, which equals 100. The correct answer is A. Choice B, 50, is the result of multiplying 0.5 by 100 instead of 200. Choice C, 150, is the result of adding 0.5 and 200 instead of multiplying them. Choice D, 200, is the second number in the multiplication operation and not the correct product.

5. How many milliliters are in 2 liters?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: There are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter, so 2 liters equal 2000 milliliters. The conversion is based on the fact that the prefix 'milli-' means one-thousandth. Therefore, the correct answer is 2000 mL. Choice B, 20,000 mL, is incorrect as it multiplies 2 liters by 10. Choice C, 200 mL, is incorrect as it divides 2 liters by 10. Choice D, 2 mL, is incorrect as it incorrectly assumes that 2 liters is equal to 2 milliliters.
