Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Convert 15 mL to fl oz, using 1 fl oz = 30 mL: how many n? Real liquid doses are always measured in mL, with an oral syringe or a marked medicine cup.
Nursing math & unit conversions worksheet with answers
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient weighs 19 lb. Using 1 kg = 2.2 lb, find the weight m in kilograms. Round to one decimal place.
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A drip-rate calculation gives 124.989 gtt/min. The rule in this exercise is that drip rates are rounded to the nearest whole drop. What value x do you record?
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A dose calculation for an injection gives 4.8621 mL. The rule in this exercise is that volumes of 1 mL or more are rounded to the nearest tenth of a mL. What value x do you record?
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A serum creatinine result is 4 mg/dL. Using 1 mg/dL = 88.4 µmol/L for creatinine, find c in µmol/L to the nearest whole number.
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). During a shift a patient takes 1½ cups of tea, 1 tsp of cough syrup, ½ fl oz of juice. Using the equivalents given, find the total oral intake V in mL.
Answer key
- 1. n = 0.5 fl oz
