1.Easy

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Convert 0.0005 g to mcg: find x.

0.0005 g1 g = 1 000 000 mcg

x = mcg

2.Easy

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

1.2 L1 L = 1000 mL

x = mL

3.Medium

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A newborn weighs 5 lb 3 oz. Using 1 lb = 16 oz and 1 kg = 2.2 lb, find the weight m in kilograms. Round to two decimal places.

5 lb 3 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 103.5 °F. Convert it to degrees Celsius T with °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9. Round to one decimal place.

103.5 °F

T = °C

5.Hard

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A serum creatinine result is 0.9 mg/dL. Using 1 mg/dL = 88.4 µmol/L for creatinine, find c in µmol/L to the nearest whole number.

0.9 mg/dL1 mg/dL = 88.4 µmol/L

c = µmol/L

6.Hard

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A prescription reads ½ tsp of an oral suspension twice a day for 10 days. Using 1 tsp = 5 mL, how many mL V are needed for the whole course?

½ tsptwice a day10 days1 tsp = 5 mL

V = mL

Answer key

1. x = 500 mcg
2. x = 1200 mL
3. m = 2.36 kg
4. T = 39.7 °C
5. c = 80 µmol/L
6. V = 50 mL
