A nurse is converting a medication dose from g to mcg. The amount available is 5 g. 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.)

To convert grams (g) to micrograms (mcg), you need to multiply by a conversion factor of 1,000,000. Here's the calculation: Amount in mcg = Amount in g x Conversion factor (g/mcg) = 5 g x 1,000,000 mcg/g = 5,000,000 mcg (rounded to nearest whole number) Therefore, the 5 g amount is equal to 5,000,000 mcg.
