    Calculation

    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 apples. Do not use a trailing zero.)

    mcg

    Explanation & Rationale

    Identify the given information: Dose in grams: 5 g Use the conversion factor: 1 g = 1,000,000 mcg Set up the conversion: 5 g x (1,000,000 mcg / 1 g) 5g x 1,000,000 mcg/g = 5,000,000 mcg
