1.Easy
L× 1000mL1.2 L?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Convert 1.2 L to mL: find x.

1.2 L1 L = 1000 mL
x = mL
2.Easy
31 lb1 kg = 2.2 lbm = ? kg

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient weighs 31 lb. Using 1 kg = 2.2 lb, find the weight m in kilograms. Round to one decimal place.

31 lb1 kg = 2.2 lb
m = kg
3.Medium
4 lb 13 oz? kg1 lb = 16 oz1 kg = 2.2 lb

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A newborn weighs 4 lb 13 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 13 oz1 lb = 16 oz1 kg = 2.2 lb
m = kg

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient’s temperature is 37.9 °C. Convert it to degrees Fahrenheit T with °F = °C × 9/5 + 32. Round to one decimal place.

37.9 °C
T = °F
5.Hard
1½ fl oz? mL½ tbsp? mL½ tsp? mL¾ cup? mLΣ = ? mL

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). During a shift a patient takes 1½ fl oz of juice, ½ tbsp of liquid supplement, ½ tsp of cough syrup, ¾ cup of tea. Using the equivalents given, find the total oral intake V in mL.

1 fl oz = 30 mL1 tbsp = 15 mL1 tsp = 5 mL1 cup = 8 fl oz = 240 mL
V = mL
6.Hard
3.7 mg/dL? µmol/L1 mg/dL = 88.4 µmol/L

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A serum creatinine result is 3.7 mg/dL. Using 1 mg/dL = 88.4 µmol/L for creatinine, find c in µmol/L to the nearest whole number.

3.7 mg/dL1 mg/dL = 88.4 µmol/L
c = µmol/L
