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.
Explanatory variable
MG stands for milligrams in measurement.
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?
