2.Easy
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Convert 50 mg to g: find x.
50 mg1 g = 1000 mg
x = g
3.Medium
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A newborn weighs 10 lb 2 oz. Using 1 lb = 16 oz and 1 kg = 2.2 lb, find the weight m in kilograms. Round to two decimal places.
10 lb 2 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 95.1 °F. Convert it to degrees Celsius T with °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9. Round to one decimal place.
95.1 °F
T = °C
5.Hard
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A haemoglobin result is 7.9 g/dL. Express it in g/L Hb.
7.9 g/dL1 L = 10 dL
Hb = g/L
6.Hard
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A blood glucose result is 252 mg/dL. Using 1 mmol/L = 18 mg/dL for glucose, find c in mmol/L. Round to one decimal place.
252 mg/dL1 mmol/L = 18 mg/dL
c = mmol/L
