2.Easy
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Convert 100 mg to g: find x.
100 mg1 g = 1000 mg
x = g
3.Medium
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient’s temperature is 95.4 °F. Convert it to degrees Celsius T with °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9. Round to one decimal place.
95.4 °F
T = °C
4.Medium
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A newborn weighs 8 lb 10 oz. Using 1 lb = 16 oz and 1 kg = 2.2 lb, find the weight m in kilograms. Round to two decimal places.
8 lb 10 oz1 lb = 16 oz1 kg = 2.2 lb
m = kg
5.Hard
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). An infusion delivers 10 mg/h. Express this dose rate D in mcg/min. Round to one decimal place.
10 mg/h1 mg = 1000 mcg1 h = 60 min
D = mcg/min
6.Hard
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). An infusion starts at 19:50 and finishes at 03:55 the next morning (24-hour clock). How many hours t did it run? Give the answer in hours as a decimal, rounded to two decimal places.
19:5003:55
t = h
Answer key
- 1. m = 283.6 lb
- 2. x = 0.1 g
- 3. T = 35.2 °C
- 4. m = 3.92 kg
- 5. D = 166.7 mcg/min
- 6. t = 8.08 h
