ONE-STEP CONVERSIONS
Show the set-up for each problem.

1. 5 T = 4.535 t 2. 80 mL = 0.08 L

1T = 0.097t 1L = 1000mL

3. 16 gr = 960 mg 4. ¾ fl oz. = 9 T

1gr = 60mg 1 fl oz = 2tbsp and 1tbsp = 6T

5. 4 t = 20 mL 6. 2 qt = 3.34 pt

1t = 5 mL 1 qt = 1.67pt

7. 2 t = 20.61 T 8. gr 5/8 = 37.5 mg

1T = 0.097t 1gr = 60mg

9. 5 mg = 0.083 gr 10. gr 1/8 = 0.0081 g

1gr = 60mg 1gr = 0.065g

11. The order reads 0.5 g of chloramphenicol. What is the equivalent in mg?
1g = 1000mg
0.5g = 500mg

12. The order reads 80 mg of Inderal. How many grams would you administer?
1g = 1000mg
80mg = 0.08g
13. How many milliliters are contained in 3 tablespoons of a drug?
1tbsp = 15mL
3tbsp = 45mL

14. The physician ordered 8 fl oz. of citrate of magnesia. How many tablespoons would you
administer?
1 fl oz = 2tbsp
8 fl oz = 16tbsp

15. The order reads 30 mL of a solution. How many teaspoons is this?

1tsp = 5mL
30mL = 6tsp

16. The order is ¼ pint of fluid. How many ounces are contained in this order?
1 pint = 16oz
¼ pint = 4oz

17. The doctor ordered gr 4 of a drug. Change this order to grams.

1gr = 0.065g
4gr = 0.26g

18. Change 500 mg to grains.

1gr = 60mg
500mg = 8.33gr
