m = kg
5.Hard
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A prescription reads 1 tbsp of an oral suspension four times a day for 5 days. Using 1 tbsp = 15 mL, how many mL V are needed for the whole course?
1 tbspfour times a day5 days1 tbsp = 15 mL
V = mL
6.Hard
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A haemoglobin result is 134 g/L. Express it in g/dL Hb.
134 g/L1 L = 10 dL
Hb = g/dL
