Nothing in the common household can measure one milligram, or one milliliter.
5ml
The nurse should administer 0.6 mL of morphine sulfate to deliver 6 mg of the medication to the patient (6 mg divided by 10 mg/mL).
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.
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.

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.
In a syringe, 120 mg would be equivalent to 0.12 mL if the concentration of the medication is 1 mg/mL. This is calculated by dividing the total amount of medication (120 mg) by the concentration (1 mg/mL). It is important to always double-check calculations and measurements to ensure accurate dosing.
