Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Convert 5 mL to tsp, using 1 tsp = 5 mL: how many n? Real liquid doses are always measured in mL, with an oral syringe or a marked medicine cup.
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A dose calculation for a small injection gives 0.17109 mL. The rule in this exercise is that volumes below 1 mL are rounded to the nearest hundredth of a mL. What value x do you record?
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A drip-rate calculation gives 152.561 gtt/min. The rule in this exercise is that drip rates are rounded to the nearest whole drop. What value x do you record?
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A prescription reads 1½ tsp of an oral suspension three times a day for 14 days. The suspension comes in 150 mL bottles. Using 1 tsp = 5 mL, how many whole bottles N must be supplied so the course is complete?
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). An order reads 4 mcg/kg/min for a patient who weighs 96 kg. Express the dose rate D in mg/h. Round to two decimal places.
Answer key
- 1. n = 8 fl oz
- 2. n = 1 tsp
- 3. x = 0.17 mL
- 4. x = 153 gtt/min
- 5. N = 3
- 6. D = 23.04 mg/h
