2.Easy
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
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A newborn weighs 5 lb 6 oz. Using 1 lb = 16 oz and 1 kg = 2.2 lb, find the weight m in kilograms. Round to two decimal places.
5 lb 6 oz1 lb = 16 oz1 kg = 2.2 lb
m = kg
4.Medium
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient’s temperature is 104.9 °F. Convert it to degrees Celsius T with °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9. Round to one decimal place.
104.9 °F
T = °C
5.Hard
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). During a shift a patient takes 2 tbsp of liquid supplement, 2 cups of tea, 1½ tsp of cough syrup, 6 fl oz of juice. Using the equivalents given, find the total oral intake V in mL.
1 tbsp = 15 mL1 cup = 8 fl oz = 240 mL1 tsp = 5 mL1 fl oz = 30 mL
V = mL
6.Hard
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). An infusion starts at 20:25 and finishes at 02:25 the next morning (24-hour clock). How many minutes t did it run?
20:2502:25
t = min
Answer key
- 1. m = 16.8 kg
- 2. x = 1500 mL
- 3. m = 2.44 kg
- 4. T = 40.5 °C
- 5. V = 697.5 mL
- 6. t = 360 min
