1.Easy
kg× 1000g× 1000mg× 1000mcg0.125 g?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Convert 0.125 g to mg: find x.

0.125 g1 g = 1000 mg
x = mg
2.Easy
60 mL? cups1 cup = 8 fl oz = 240 mL

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Convert 60 mL to cups, using 1 cup = 8 fl oz = 240 mL: how many n? Real liquid doses are always measured in mL, with an oral syringe or a marked medicine cup.

60 mL1 cup = 8 fl oz = 240 mL
n = cup
3.Medium
8 lb 9 oz? kg1 lb = 16 oz1 kg = 2.2 lb

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A newborn weighs 8 lb 9 oz. Using 1 lb = 16 oz and 1 kg = 2.2 lb, find the weight m in kilograms. Round to two decimal places.

8 lb 9 oz1 lb = 16 oz1 kg = 2.2 lb
m = kg

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient’s temperature is 39.1 °C. Convert it to degrees Fahrenheit T with °F = °C × 9/5 + 32. Round to one decimal place.

39.1 °C
T = °F
5.Hard
00:0019:5002:40t = ?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). An infusion starts at 19:50 and finishes at 02:40 the next morning (24-hour clock). How many minutes t did it run?

19:5002:40
t = min
6.Hard
324 µmol/L? mg/dL1 mg/dL = 88.4 µmol/L

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A serum creatinine result is 324 µmol/L. Using 1 mg/dL = 88.4 µmol/L for creatinine, find c in mg/dL. Round to two decimal places.

324 µmol/L1 mg/dL = 88.4 µmol/L
c = mg/dL

Answer key

  1. 1. x = 125 mg
  2. 2. n = 0.25 cup
  3. 3. m = 3.89 kg
  4. 4. T = 102.4 °F
  5. 5. t = 410 min
  6. 6. c = 3.67 mg/dL
