2.Easy
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Convert 250 mg to g: find x.
250 mg1 g = 1000 mg
x = g
3.Medium
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient’s temperature is 39.4 °C. Convert it to degrees Fahrenheit T with °F = °C × 9/5 + 32. Round to one decimal place.
39.4 °C
T = °F
4.Medium
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient is 5 ft 6 in tall. Using 1 ft = 12 in and 1 in = 2.54 cm, find the height h in centimetres, to the nearest whole centimetre.
5 ft 6 in1 ft = 12 in1 in = 2.54 cm
h = cm
5.Hard
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A prescription reads 2 tsp of an oral suspension twice a day for 5 days. Using 1 tsp = 5 mL, how many mL V are needed for the whole course?
2 tsptwice a day5 days1 tsp = 5 mL
V = mL
6.Hard
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A prescription reads 1 tbsp of an oral suspension four times a day for 10 days. Using 1 tbsp = 15 mL, how many mL V are needed for the whole course?
1 tbspfour times a day10 days1 tbsp = 15 mL
V = mL
