2.Easy

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient weighs 166 lb. Using 1 kg = 2.2 lb, find the weight m in kilograms. Round to one decimal place.

166 lb1 kg = 2.2 lb

m = kg

3.Medium

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient’s temperature is 96.3 °F. Convert it to degrees Celsius T with °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9. Round to one decimal place.

96.3 °F

T = °C

4.Medium

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A newborn weighs 8 lb 8 oz. Using 1 lb = 16 oz and 1 kg = 2.2 lb, find the weight m in kilograms. Round to two decimal places.

8 lb 8 oz1 lb = 16 oz1 kg = 2.2 lb

m = kg

5.Hard

21:0504:05

t = min

6.Hard

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A serum creatinine result is 182 µmol/L. Using 1 mg/dL = 88.4 µmol/L for creatinine, find c in mg/dL. Round to two decimal places.

182 µmol/L1 mg/dL = 88.4 µmol/L

c = mg/dL

Answer key

1. x = 2500 mg
2. m = 75.5 kg
3. T = 35.7 °C
4. m = 3.86 kg
