you should give loading dose then maintenance dose

Not sure I am fully following what you're asking:

Yes, you need to be able to convert between kg --> grams --> mg --> mcg (should be memorized at this point)
Yes, you need to be able to understand (kinetic-wise) why loading dose is given vs maintenance dosage (ie, vancomycin dosing strategies)

If this is a matter of stoichiometry refresher, you need to be able to dose based on hospital procedure/protocol which (more times than not) reflects therapeutic guidelines and drug manufacturer labeling.

Not speaking as someone with a BCPS, but you may not be getting responses since it may not be entirely clear what you're asking.
