2.Easy
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Convert 0.75 mg to mcg: find x.
0.75 mg1 mg = 1000 mcg
x = mcg
3.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
4.Medium
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient’s temperature is 40.6 °C. Convert it to degrees Fahrenheit T with °F = °C × 9/5 + 32. Round to one decimal place.
40.6 °C
T = °F
5.Hard
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). An infusion starts at 22:10 and finishes at 03:35 the next morning (24-hour clock). How many minutes t did it run?
22:1003:35
t = min
6.Hard
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). During a shift a patient takes ½ tsp of cough syrup, ½ tbsp of liquid supplement, 1 fl oz of juice, ¾ cup of tea. Using the equivalents given, find the total oral intake V in mL.
1 tsp = 5 mL1 tbsp = 15 mL1 fl oz = 30 mL1 cup = 8 fl oz = 240 mL
V = mL
Answer key
- 1. m = 68.2 kg
- 2. x = 750 mcg
- 3. T = 37.7 °C
- 4. T = 105.1 °F
- 5. t = 325 min
- 6. V = 220 mL
