Nothing in the common household can measure one milligram, or one milliliter.
5ml
it depends on the concentration of the medication... in mg/ml... you can convert mg/ml to mg/cc as 1 ml = 1 cc. If your medication is at a concentration of 10 mg/ml, then you have 10 mg in 1 cc. You can calculate 1 mg in 0,1 cc.
There is no level for 5 mg on a 1 ml syringe because micrograms (mg) are a measurement of mass and milliliters (ml) are a measurement of volume. You need to know what the concentration of the liquid medication is to convert the 5 mg to ml. At this point, you would be able to measure out the medication in your 1 ml syringe.
2. The physician writes an order for you to give the patient medication based on the patient's weight. The patient weighs 110 pounds. The order reads administer 3mg/kg of weight q 8 hours. How many mg will you administer to the patient per dose?
no, a ml (or cc) is a liquid (volume) measurement and a mg is a measurement of weight usually pertaining to the amount of active ingredient in a medication. It is possible for a liquid medication to come in a strength of 250mg/5ml. That means in a volume amount of 5ml, there is 250mg of medication. Liquid medications come in many strengths per ml and that strength is in no means a standard, so directions must always be followed.

500 mg = .5 of a gram so 1000 mg = 1 gram
50mg of a medication is stronger than 10mg of the same medication.
MG stands for milligrams in measurement.
