Question 1 of 5
A nurse is 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 examples should the nurse use to show appropriate transcription of this dosage?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: 0.2 mg. When transcribing a dosage of two tenths of a milligram, it should be written as 0.2 mg. The decimal point is crucial as it represents the exact value of the medication.
Choice A (20 mg) is incorrect as it represents a much higher dosage.
Choice B (0.20 mg) is incorrect because the additional zero after the decimal is unnecessary.
Choice C (2 mg) is incorrect as it represents a dosage that is 10 times higher than the intended dosage.
Therefore, the appropriate transcription of two tenths of a milligram is 0.2 mg.
