2.Easy
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient weighs 133.3 kg. Using 1 kg = 2.2 lb, find the weight m in pounds. Round to one decimal place.
133.3 kg1 kg = 2.2 lb
m = lb
3.Medium
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A weight conversion gives 90.5908 kg. The rule in this exercise is that weights are rounded to the nearest tenth of a kilogram. What value x do you record?
90.5908 kg
x = kg
4.Medium
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A newborn weighs 8 lb 3 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 3 oz1 lb = 16 oz1 kg = 2.2 lb
m = kg
5.Hard
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). An infusion starts at 23:50 and finishes at 00:05 the next morning (24-hour clock). How many minutes t did it run?
23:5000:05
t = min
6.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
Answer key
- 1. m = 23.2 kg
- 2. m = 293.3 lb
- 3. x = 90.6 kg
- 4. m = 3.72 kg
- 5. t = 15 min
- 6. D = 166.7 mcg/min
