A conversion factor is a numerical quantity used to multiple or divide when converting from one system of measurements to another. For example, when converting milligrams to grams, the milligrams is always divided by 1000 to get the final answer in grams. If someone had 35 milligrams of NaCl and wanted to know how much 35 milligrams of NaCl would be in grams, they would divide 35mg by 1000 to determine the number of grams. 35mg x 1g/1000mg= .035g. The mg would cancel leaving the final unit as grams. Conversion factors are especially critical when administering medicine to child, because children vary greatly in weight from an adult so children cannot accept the same dosage as an adult would. The less they weigh, the less dosage they can receive. If a child receive the dosage intended for an adult the child would experience an…
