1.Easy

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Convert 75 mcg to mg: find x.

75 mcg1 mg = 1000 mcg

x = mg

2.Easy

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient weighs 106 lb. Using 1 kg = 2.2 lb, find the weight m in kilograms. Round to one decimal place.

106 lb1 kg = 2.2 lb

m = kg

3.Medium

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient is 5 ft 4 in tall. Using 1 ft = 12 in and 1 in = 2.54 cm, find the height h in centimetres, to the nearest whole centimetre.

5 ft 4 in1 ft = 12 in1 in = 2.54 cm

h = cm

4.Medium

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A newborn weighs 8 lb 6 oz. Using 1 lb = 16 oz and 1 kg = 2.2 lb, find the weight m in kilograms. Round to two decimal places.

8 lb 6 oz1 lb = 16 oz1 kg = 2.2 lb

m = kg

5.Hard

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A haemoglobin result is 75 g/L. Express it in g/dL Hb.

75 g/L1 L = 10 dL

Hb = g/dL

6.Hard

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A serum creatinine result is 296 µmol/L. Using 1 mg/dL = 88.4 µmol/L for creatinine, find c in mg/dL. Round to two decimal places.

296 µmol/L1 mg/dL = 88.4 µmol/L

c = mg/dL

Answer key

1. x = 0.075 mg
2. m = 48.2 kg
3. h = 163 cm
4. m = 3.81 kg
5. Hb = 7.5 g/dL
6. c = 3.35 mg/dL
