2.Easy
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Convert ¼ cup to millilitres, using 1 cup = 8 fl oz = 240 mL. Find V.
¼ cup1 cup = 8 fl oz = 240 mL
V = mL
3.Medium
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient’s temperature is 97.1 °F. Convert it to degrees Celsius T with °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9. Round to one decimal place.
97.1 °F
T = °C
4.Medium
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A newborn weighs 4 lb 5 oz. Using 1 lb = 16 oz and 1 kg = 2.2 lb, find the weight m in kilograms. Round to two decimal places.
4 lb 5 oz1 lb = 16 oz1 kg = 2.2 lb
m = kg
5.Hard
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A maintenance infusion runs at 150 mL/h without a break. How many litres V does it deliver in 24 hours?
150 mL/h24 h
V = L
6.Hard
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). An infusion starts at 22:05 and finishes at 05:50 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.
22:0505:50
t = h
Answer key
- 1. m = 7.7 kg
- 2. V = 60 mL
- 3. T = 36.2 °C
- 4. m = 1.96 kg
- 5. V = 3.6 L
- 6. t = 7.75 h
