x = mg

2.Easy

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient weighs 293 lb. Using 1 kg = 2.2 lb, find the weight m in kilograms. Round to one decimal place.

293 lb1 kg = 2.2 lb

m = kg

3.Medium

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient’s temperature is 36.1 °C. Convert it to degrees Fahrenheit T with °F = °C × 9/5 + 32. Round to one decimal place.

36.1 °C

T = °F

5.Hard

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A serum creatinine result is 2.8 mg/dL. Using 1 mg/dL = 88.4 µmol/L for creatinine, find c in µmol/L to the nearest whole number.

2.8 mg/dL1 mg/dL = 88.4 µmol/L

c = µmol/L

6.Hard

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A haemoglobin result is 173 g/L. Express it in g/dL Hb.

173 g/L1 L = 10 dL

Hb = g/dL
