My LPN entrance exam is coming up in a few short weeks!! There is a section on it using the metric system and I have tried to study it for soo long and its not clicking! I've tried to look up things online and everything in between. Does anyone have any tips that they use that could help me understand it better? The questions include converting liters to gallons and there are ALOT of questions that have mL in them. I'm really stuck! any help would be GREATLY appreciated because im really stressed over this!
Mcg is micrograms. You sometimes see it written with a Greek letter mu, which looks a little like a U with a long tail straight down below baseline on the right, but because this is often misread, the approved abbreviation is mcg.
