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: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: 0.2 mg. When transcribing a dosage of two tenths of a milligram, it should be written as 0.2 mg to accurately represent the decimal point.
Choice A (2 mg) is incorrect as it represents a dosage that is 10 times greater.
Choice B (0.20 mg) is incorrect as it adds unnecessary zeros after the decimal point.
Choice D (2.0 mg) is incorrect as it implies a dosage that is 10 times greater.
Therefore, the most accurate and appropriate representation of two tenths of a milligram is 0.2 mg, making choice C the correct answer.
