    Ati Dosage Calculation RN Fundamentals Proctored Assessment 3.2
    Calculation

    A nurse is converting a medication dose from 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 trailing zero)

    mcg

    Explanation & Rationale

    Determine the conversion factor: There are 1,000,000 micrograms (mcg) in 1 gram (g). Convert grams to micrograms: To convert 5 grams to micrograms, we can multiply by the conversion factor: 5g x 1,000,000 mcg/g = 5,000,000 mcg
