Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing a medication for a client and is converting grams to milligrams. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Move the decimal point 3 places to the right. When converting grams to milligrams, you need to multiply by 1000 because 1 gram is equal to 1000 milligrams. Moving the decimal point 3 places to the right accomplishes this conversion correctly. Moving the decimal point 2 places to the right (choice
A) would result in converting grams to centigrams, not milligrams.
Choices B and D would not result in the correct conversion.
