1.Easy
L× 1000mL250 mL?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Convert 250 mL to L: find x.

250 mL1 L = 1000 mL
x = L
2.Easy
kg× 1000g× 1000mg× 1000mcg500 mg?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Convert 500 mg to g: find x.

500 mg1 g = 1000 mg
x = g
3.Medium
92.2804 kg? kground to 0.1 kg

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A weight conversion gives 92.2804 kg. The rule in this exercise is that weights are rounded to the nearest tenth of a kilogram. What value x do you record?

92.2804 kg
x = kg
4.Medium
94969810010210410635363738394041°F°C103 °F? °C

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient’s temperature is 103 °F. Convert it to degrees Celsius T with °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9. Round to one decimal place.

103 °F
T = °C
5.Hard
80 mL/h? L/day1 day = 24 h1 L = 1000 mL

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A maintenance infusion runs at 80 mL/h without a break. How many litres V does it deliver in 24 hours?

80 mL/h24 h
V = L
6.Hard
136 g/L? g/dL1 L = 10 dL

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A haemoglobin result is 136 g/L. Express it in g/dL Hb.

136 g/L1 L = 10 dL
Hb = g/dL

Answer key

  1. 1. x = 0.25 L
  2. 2. x = 0.5 g
  3. 3. x = 92.3 kg
  4. 4. T = 39.4 °C
  5. 5. V = 1.92 L
  6. 6. Hb = 13.6 g/dL
