2.Easy
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient weighs 166 lb. Using 1 kg = 2.2 lb, find the weight m in kilograms. Round to one decimal place.
166 lb1 kg = 2.2 lb
m = kg
3.Medium
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A dose calculation for an injection gives 7.4731 mL. The rule in this exercise is that volumes of 1 mL or more are rounded to the nearest tenth of a mL. What value x do you record?
7.4731 mL
x = mL
4.Medium
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A dose calculation for an injection gives 8.6611 mL. The rule in this exercise is that volumes of 1 mL or more are rounded to the nearest tenth of a mL. What value x do you record?
8.6611 mL
x = mL
5.Hard
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). An infusion delivers 30 mcg/min. Express this dose rate D in mg/h.
30 mcg/min1 h = 60 min1 mg = 1000 mcg
D = mg/h
6.Hard
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). During a shift a patient takes 2 fl oz of juice, 2 cups of tea, 1½ tsp of cough syrup. Using the equivalents given, find the total oral intake V in mL.
1 fl oz = 30 mL1 cup = 8 fl oz = 240 mL1 tsp = 5 mL
V = mL
