three different types of measurements you will encounter when dealing with medications: Household, Apothecary, and Metric.

Metric

Whole numbers and

decimals before unit (always put a 0 in front of the decimal.

Ex: 0.15 mL

Grams (g)

Meter (m)

Liters (L)

Note: When two system-to-system conversion factors exist, consider the unit of the final answer. For example, if it is necessary in the drug dosage problem to convert a dosage from grains to mg, use the gr 1 = 60 mg conversion factor.

Approximate Conversion Factors

Solid conversions

gr 1 = 60 mg gr 15 = 1 g

2.54 cm = 1 in

2.2 lb = 1 kg

Fluid conversions

1 oz = dr 8 or ࠧ 8

m 15 =

1 mL = 1 cc

4 mL =

fluid dr 1 = ࠧ 1

15 mL = 3 t = 1 T

30 mL = 1 oz

Extended conversions

1 kg = 1000

g = 2.2 lbs

1 L = 1000 mL = 33 1/3

oz = 200 t = 66 2/3 T = ࠧ 250
