1.Easy
kg× 1000g× 1000mg× 1000mcg0.0005 g?

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
2 tsp? mL1 tsp = 5 mL

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Convert 2 tsp to millilitres, using 1 tsp = 5 mL. Find V.

2 tsp1 tsp = 5 mL
V = mL

94969810010210410635363738394041°F°C104 °F? °C

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient’s temperature is 104 °F. Convert it to degrees Celsius T with °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9. Round to one decimal place.

104 °F
T = °C
4.Medium
102.656 gtt/min? gtt/minround to 1 gtt/min

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A drip-rate calculation gives 102.656 gtt/min. The rule in this exercise is that drip rates are rounded to the nearest whole drop. What value x do you record?

102.656 gtt/min
x = gtt/min
5.Hard
