Nursing Metric Conversions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Convert 0.2 liters to milliliters.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert 0.2 liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1000 because there are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter. Therefore, 0.2 liters x 1000 = 200 ml. Choice A (20 ml) is incorrect because it represents 0.02 liters, not 0.2 liters. Choice C (2 ml) is incorrect as it represents 0.002 liters. Choice D (2000 ml) is incorrect as it represents 2 liters, not 0.2 liters.
Question 2 of 5
What is 0.16 as a fraction?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To convert 0.16 into a fraction, you write it as 16\100, which simplifies to 4\25. This fraction is in its simplest form and accurately represents the original decimal value without further reduction. Choice A (16\1000) is incorrect because the fraction is not simplified, and Choice D (4\50) is incorrect as it simplifies to 2\25, not representing the original decimal value. Therefore, Choice C is the correct answer.
Question 3 of 5
What is 0.2 rounded to the nearest tenth?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The decimal 0.2 is already at the nearest tenth, so it does not need to be rounded. Rounding to the nearest tenth means keeping one decimal place, which is already the case with 0.2. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.2, as it is already at the specified rounding point. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they represent values that are not the result of rounding 0.2 to the nearest tenth. 0.1 is rounding down, 0.3 is rounding up, and 0.25 is not the nearest tenth of 0.2.
Question 4 of 5
What is 0.26 as a fraction in simplest form?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert 0.26 to a fraction, we write it as 26/100. To simplify this fraction, we divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2 in this case. Dividing 26 and 100 by 2 results in 13/50. Therefore, 0.26 as a fraction in simplest form is 13/50. Choice B (26/100) is the original form of the decimal, not simplified. Choice C (26/1000) is incorrect as it doesn't match the decimal representation. Choice D (1/4) is not the equivalent fraction for 0.26.
Question 5 of 5
What is the equivalent of 0.3 milliliters?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: 0.3 milliliters is equivalent to 0.3 ml. This is a precise measurement commonly used in medical settings for administering small doses of liquid medication. It is important to understand and recognize the decimal point placement when converting between milliliters and other volume units. Choice A (0.03 ml) is incorrect as it represents a smaller amount than 0.3 ml. Choice C (3 ml) and Choice D (30 ml) are also incorrect as they are larger measurements and do not match the given amount of 0.3 ml.
