0.25 kg1 kg = 1000 g

x = g

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 36.5 °C. Convert it to degrees Fahrenheit T with °F = °C × 9/5 + 32. Round to one decimal place.

36.5 °C

T = °F

4.Medium

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient is 4 ft 8 in tall. Using 1 ft = 12 in and 1 in = 2.54 cm, find the height h in centimetres, to the nearest whole centimetre.

4 ft 8 in1 ft = 12 in1 in = 2.54 cm

h = cm

5.Hard

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A maintenance infusion runs at 120 mL/h without a break. How many litres V does it deliver in 24 hours?

120 mL/h24 h

V = L

6.Hard

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). During a shift a patient takes 6 fl oz of juice, ¼ cup of tea, ½ tsp of cough syrup, 1½ tbsp of liquid supplement. Using the equivalents given, find the total oral intake V in mL.

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

V = mL
