A nurse is converting a medication dose from g to mcg. The amount available is 5g. The nurse should recognize that this amount is equal to how many mcg?
(Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
The Correct Answer is ["5000000"]
To convert grams (g) to micrograms (mcg), we need to multiply the number of grams by 1,000,000 (because
there are 1,000,000 mcg in 1 g):
5 g x 1,000,000 mcg/g = 5,000,000 mcg

Correct Answer is ["100"]
Explanation
First, we need to determine how many milligrams of vancomycin are in each milliliter of the reconstituted solution:
1 g = 1,000 mg
If we reconstitute 1 g of vancomycin powder for injection in enough diluent to make a final volume of 200 mL, the concentration will be:
1,000 mg ÷ 200 mL = 5 mg/mL
Now, we can calculate how many milliliters of the reconstituted solution the nurse should administer to deliver 500 mg of vancomycin:
500 mg ÷ 5 mg/mL = 100 mL
Therefore, the nurse should administer 100 mL of the reconstituted vancomycin solution via intermitent IV
bolus.
Correct Answer is ["200"]
Explanation
To convert the client's weight from kilograms to pounds, you need to multiply the weight in kilograms by the conversion factor of 2.2 lb/kg. So, 91 kg * 2.2 lb/kg = 200.2 lb. When rounded to the nearest whole number, this becomes 200 lb.
