**Special Note for converting between fluid ounces and milliliters: 8 fl. oz. = 250 mL = 1 cup (NOT 8 fl. oz. x 30 mL/fl.oz. = 240 mL) 4 fl. oz. = 125 mL = 1 2 cup (NOT 4 fl. oz. x 30 mL/fl.oz. = 120 mL) These are direct conversions as used in nursing practice! For all other conversions (e.g. 3 fl. oz) use 1 fl. oz. = 30 mL to convert.
We use a system of base words and prefixes. The base words are: 1 kilogram (kg) = 1000 grams (g) 1 mole (mol) = 1000 millimoles (mmol) 1 minute (min) = 60 seconds (sec) Notice that most of these facts involve the number 1000. So converting between units will often involve multiplying or dividing by 1000. 1. 2. 3.
When completing nursing calculations, you may be asked to convert between household and metric measures. It is important that you know how to do this accurately, as getting it wrong can be dangerous, especially in dosage calculations. Most formulae in nursing require measurements to be taken in metric units.

It is necessary to ensure that units of measurement are consistent when carrying out medication calculations. This may require the conversion of units. This worksheet will teach you to understand power of ten, multiply and divide decimals by powers of ten, and convert smaller and larger units.

*Learning these conversions helped me SO MUCH in my cooking, too! RULE 1: Units you are trying to SOLVE FOR are written on the SAME SIDE (top or bottom). RULE 2: Units you are trying to ELIMINATE are written on the OPPOSITE SIDE (top or bottom).
