1.Easy
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient weighs 26 lb. Using 1 kg = 2.2 lb, find the weight m in kilograms. Round to one decimal place.
26 lb1 kg = 2.2 lb
m = kg

2.Easy
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Convert 0.15 mg to mcg: find x.
0.15 mg1 mg = 1000 mcg
x = mcg
3.Medium
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A dose is charted at 11:50 (24-hour clock). Which entry is the same time on the 12-hour clock? Click it.

4.Medium
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient is 6 ft 8 in tall. Using 1 ft = 12 in and 1 in = 2.54 cm, find the height h in centimetres, to the nearest whole centimetre.
6 ft 8 in1 ft = 12 in1 in = 2.54 cm
h = cm
5.Hard
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A serum creatinine result is 4.5 mg/dL. Using 1 mg/dL = 88.4 µmol/L for creatinine, find c in µmol/L to the nearest whole number.
4.5 mg/dL1 mg/dL = 88.4 µmol/L
c = µmol/L
6.Hard
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A prescription reads ½ tsp of an oral suspension every 8 hours for 7 days. Using 1 tsp = 5 mL, how many mL V are needed for the whole course?
½ tspevery 8 hours7 days1 tsp = 5 mL
V = mL
