4.Medium
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A dose calculation for an injection gives 3.7845 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?
3.7845 mL
x = mL
5.Hard
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A prescription reads ½ tsp of an oral suspension every 8 hours for 10 days. Using 1 tsp = 5 mL, how many mL V are needed for the whole course?
½ tspevery 8 hours10 days1 tsp = 5 mL
V = mL
6.Hard
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A haemoglobin result is 7.7 g/dL. Express it in g/L Hb.
7.7 g/dL1 L = 10 dL
Hb = g/L
