LPN Math Basics Review v-1
Every metric measure has a standard abbreviation. NOTE: There are upper and lowercase letters in
metric abbreviations. Abbreviations are incorrect when the case is incorrect, e.g. mL not ml.
This table lists ten metric prefixes. The most common prefixes in
nursing are marked: .

Milliequivalent
A milliequivalent (mEq) is an expression of the number of grams of a drug contained in
one (1) milliliter (mL) of normal solution.
A milliequivalent dosage is written using Arabic numerals, with a space between the
abbreviations that follow for example: 30 mEq.
Percentage
Percentage (%) means parts per hundred. Percentages are written with no space between
the quantity and symbol: 30% not 30 %.
Percentage is used extensively in intravenous solutions. The greater the solution’s
percentage, the stronger the solution is.
International Units
A unit measures a drug in terms of its action, rather than its physical weight. There is no
abbreviation for unit; it is written in lower case with a space between the numerals and the
measurement, e.g. 30 units.
