Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting in preparing an in-service program about preventing medication errors when transcribing a prescription. The nurse is using a dosage example of two tenths of a milligram. Which of the following transcription examples should the nurse use?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 0.2 mg. When transcribing a dosage of two tenths of a milligram, it should be written as 0.2 mg, as this accurately represents the decimal point placement.
Choice A (2.0 mg) is incorrect because it represents 2 milligrams, which is ten times greater than the intended dose.
Choices C, D, and E all incorrectly represent the dosage as 0.2 milligrams, which is one-tenth of the intended dose.
Therefore, the only correct transcription example is B, as it accurately reflects the intended dosage of two tenths of a milligram.
