1.Easy

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Convert 125 mg to g: find x.

125 mg1 g = 1000 mg

x = g

2.Easy

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). Convert ¾ cup to millilitres, using 1 cup = 8 fl oz = 240 mL. Find V.

¾ cup1 cup = 8 fl oz = 240 mL

V = mL

3.Medium

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A newborn weighs 4 lb 10 oz. Using 1 lb = 16 oz and 1 kg = 2.2 lb, find the weight m in kilograms. Round to two decimal places.

4 lb 10 oz1 lb = 16 oz1 kg = 2.2 lb

m = kg

4.Medium

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A weight conversion gives 79.6833 kg. The rule in this exercise is that weights are rounded to the nearest tenth of a kilogram. What value x do you record?

79.6833 kg

x = kg

5.Hard

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). An infusion delivers 2 mg/h. Express this dose rate D in mcg/min. Round to one decimal place.

2 mg/h1 mg = 1000 mcg1 h = 60 min

D = mcg/min

6.Hard

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). An infusion delivers 5 mcg/min. Express this dose rate D in mg/h.

5 mcg/min1 h = 60 min1 mg = 1000 mcg

D = mg/h

Answer key

1. x = 0.125 g
2. V = 180 mL
3. m = 2.1 kg
4. x = 79.7 kg
5. D = 33.3 mcg/min
6. D = 0.3 mg/h
