A) Conversion of milligrams and micrograms . Drug dosage is generally given in grams (g) or fractions of a gram, milligrams (mg) or micrograms (mcg): 1g = 1000mg . 1mg = 1000mcg . Therefore, to convert grams to milligrams, you MULTIPLY by 1000: milligrams to micrograms MULTIPLY by 1000.
Now identify the information on the top left of the equation. In this example, it is 5 mcg. The order reads 5 mcg/kg/min. Therefore, 5 mcg goes on the top left, and kg/min is on the bottom left. To solve the equation, the client’s weight of 176 lb will also need to be converted within the equation.
