HCP 220 Week 3 Checkpoint Equivalent Measurements and 


In addition to a patient’s weight and dose of medication, a pharmacy 

technician must have an understanding of the different systems of 

measurement to prevent medication errors while interpreting 

prescriptions. The following exercises provide opportunities for you to 

practice calculating equivalent measurements. Refer to Table 4-5 and 

Table 4-6 on p. 30 for abbreviations and symbols for ounce in both the 

apothecary and household systems. Although it is not noted in the text, 

one cubic centimeter (cc) is equivalent to one mL. For example, 5 cc = 5 

mL, 3.1 mL = 3.1 cc, and so forth. 




Calculate equivalent measurements within the metric system for the 

following exercises: 

1. 2 mcg = ____ mg 

2. 0.4 L = ____ mL 

3. 100 mg = ____ mcg 

4. 600 mg = ____ g

5. 3 kg = ____ g 

6. 1 mm = ____ cm 

7. 250 mL = ____ L 

8. 125 mcg = ____ mg 

9. 60 kg = ____ g 

10. 500 mcg = ____ g

HCP 220 Week 2 Checkpoint Mathematical Functions 



Checkpoint-Mathematical-Functions 


Accuracy and precision in the calculation of doses, dosages, and rates of 

infusion of intravenous solutions are often based on percents, ratios, and 

proportions. The exercises for this CheckPoint provide opportunities to 

perform various mathematical functions pharmacy technicians must 

master. 

Assume the role of a pharmacy technician. A pharmacist gives you a 

physician’s order sheet, a prescription, and asks you to prepare a 2% 

solution of sodium chloride (NaCl). You check the stock in the 

pharmacy but discover you have only a 3% solution of NaCl. Hint: 2g 

NaCl:100mL of solution::3g NaCL:x mL of 3% solution. 


Complete the following exercises. Refer to p. 22 for worked examples. 

1. Solve the equation for x to determine how many mL of 3% 

solution you need. 

2. Convert 3% to a fraction.

3. Convert 2% to a decimal. 

4. Percents are often used to show the strength of solutions. Which 

solution is stronger, the 2% or the 3%? 

5. What does 3% of sodium chloride mean, i.e., how many parts are 

in a 100? 

6. Referring to the proportion regarding NaCl in the scenario, show 

the product of the means equals the product of the extremes. 

7. Convert 25% to a fraction. 

8. What percent of 15 ounces is 5 ounces? 

9. Convert 1/8 to a percent. 

10.Convert 40% to a decimal.
