Metric Conversions for Nursing
1. How many centimeters are in 4 meters?
- A. 40 cm
 - B. 400 cm
 - C. 4 cm
 - D. 0.4 cm
 
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To convert meters to centimeters, you multiply by 100. In this case, 4 meters x 100 = 400 centimeters. Therefore, the correct answer is 400 cm. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert meters to centimeters.
2. What is the value of one femtometer (fm) in meters?
- A. 10^-15 meters
 - B. 10^-9 meters
 - C. 10^-12 meters
 - D. 10^-18 meters
 
Correct answer: A
Rationale: A femtometer is equivalent to 10^-15 meters. The prefix 'femto-' signifies a factor of one quadrillionth (10^-15), making choice A the correct answer. Choice B (10^-9 meters) represents a nanometer, not a femtometer. Choice C (10^-12 meters) corresponds to a picometer, not a femtometer. Choice D (10^-18 meters) is even smaller than a femtometer and refers to an attometer, not a femtometer.
3. What is the metric prefix for 10^-12 and how does it relate to meters?
- A. pico- (p) = 10^-12 meters
 - B. nano- (n) = 10^-12 meters
 - C. femto- (f) = 10^-12 meters
 - D. pico- (p) = 10^-15 meters
 
Correct answer: C
Rationale: The prefix 'femto-' stands for 10^-15, making femtometer equal to 10^-15 meters. The incorrect choices are A and B because 'pico-' represents 10^-12 (picometer) and 'nano-' represents 10^-9 (nanometer), respectively. Choice D is also incorrect as 'pico-' is associated with 10^-12, not 10^-15.
4. What is the equivalent temperature in Kelvin if the temperature is measured at 25 degrees Celsius?
- A. 298.15 K
 - B. 273.15 K
 - C. 250 K
 - D. 25 K
 
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 298.15 K. The conversion from Celsius to Kelvin is K = C + 273.15. Therefore, 25°C is equivalent to 298.15 K, as 25 + 273.15 = 298.15. Choice B, 273.15 K, is the freezing point of water in Kelvin, not the equivalent of 25°C. Choice C, 250 K, and Choice D, 25 K, are incorrect conversions and do not align with the correct formula for converting Celsius to Kelvin.
5. Convert 5 kilograms to grams.
- A. 50 grams
 - B. 500 grams
 - C. 5,000 grams
 - D. 50,000 grams
 
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 5 kilograms is equal to 5,000 grams. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert the given amount of kilograms to grams.
