1.Easy
L× 1000mL1.2 L?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Convert 1.2 L to mL: find x.

1.2 L1 L = 1000 mL
x = mL
2.Easy
L× 1000mL1.5 L?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Convert 1.5 L to mL: find x.

1.5 L1 L = 1000 mL
x = mL
3.Medium
13.6983 mL? mLround to 0.1 mL

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A dose calculation for an injection gives 13.6983 mL. The rule in this exercise is that volumes of 1 mL or more are rounded to the nearest tenth of a mL. What value x do you record?

13.6983 mL
x = mL

4 fl oz? mL1 tbsp? mL2½ tsp? mL3 cups? mLΣ = ? mL

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). During a shift a patient takes 4 fl oz of juice, 1 tbsp of liquid supplement, 2½ tsp of cough syrup, 3 cups of tea. Using the equivalents given, find the total oral intake V in mL.

1 fl oz = 30 mL1 tbsp = 15 mL1 tsp = 5 mL1 cup = 8 fl oz = 240 mL
V = mL
