Exam
Directions
Round to the nearest whole number unless the question says otherwise. Use a leading zero if it
applies. Do not use a trailing zero.
Use these common conversions:
● 1 kg = 2.2 lb
● 1 g = 1,000 mg
● 1 mg = 1,000 mcg
● 1 tsp = 5 mL
● 1 tbsp = 15 mL
● 1 oz = 30 mL
● 1 cup = 240 mL
● 1 L = 1,000 mL
Part 1: Conversions
1.
Convert 2.5 g to mg.
2.
Convert 750 mcg to mg.
3.
Convert 3 oz to mL.
4.
Convert 1.5 L to mL.
, 5.
Convert 176 lb to kg.
6.
Convert 45 mg to mcg.
Part 2: Intake and Output
7.
A nurse is calculating a client’s intake for an 8-hour shift. The client consumed:
● 1 cup coffee
● 6 oz water
● 120 mL gelatin
● 4 oz juice
● 1 bowl of soup, 180 mL
How many mL should the nurse document for total intake?
8.
A client consumed:
● 8 oz tea
● 3 oz broth
● 1 cup ice chips
● 90 mL oral medication
Ice chips count as half their volume when melted.
How many mL of intake should the nurse record?
9.
A nurse is totaling output for a shift. The client had:
● 650 mL urine
● 120 mL emesis
● 350 mL NG drainage
● 200 mL liquid stool
