1.Easy

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Convert 0.25 kg to g: find x.

0.25 kg1 kg = 1000 g

x = g

2.Easy

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Convert 1 fl oz to millilitres, using 1 fl oz = 30 mL. Find V.

1 fl oz1 fl oz = 30 mL

V = mL

3.Medium

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A drip-rate calculation gives 233.355 gtt/min. The rule in this exercise is that drip rates are rounded to the nearest whole drop. What value x do you record?

233.355 gtt/min

x = gtt/min

4.Medium

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient’s temperature is 99.9 °F. Convert it to degrees Celsius T with °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9. Round to one decimal place.

99.9 °F

T = °C

5.Hard

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A maintenance infusion runs at 120 mL/h without a break. How many litres V does it deliver in 24 hours?

120 mL/h24 h

V = L

6.Hard

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A prescription reads ½ tsp of an oral suspension every 6 hours for 10 days. Using 1 tsp = 5 mL, how many mL V are needed for the whole course?

½ tspevery 6 hours10 days1 tsp = 5 mL

V = mL

Answer key

1. x = 250 g
2. V = 30 mL
3. x = 233 gtt/min
4. T = 37.7 °C
5. V = 2.88 L
6. V = 100 mL
