Learn the four conversions that show up on every nursing dose calculation exam: 1 kilogram equals 2.2 pounds, 1 teaspoon equals 5 milliliters, 1 tablespoon equals 15 milliliters, and 1 liter equals 1,000 milliliters.
Lets go over some of the most common dose count conversions that you will see on your nursing school exam. So 1 kg equals 2.2 pounds that will show up on your exams over and over and over again in nursing school. Now, 1 teaspoon equals how many milliliters? Well, 1 teaspoon equals 5 milliliters. These are the conversions that you will use when you do your dose calc test. Now, 1 tablespoon equals how many teaspoons? A tablespoon is equal to 3 teaspoons. And if 1 teaspoon is equal to 5 milliliters, then 1 tablespoon is equal to 15 milliliters because 1 teaspoon is 5 and then a tablespoon is equal to 15. Then 1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters. So 1 liter is 1000 milliliters.
