HESI A2 Math Practice Exam Questions
Question 1 of 5
How many ounces are in 3 pints?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert pints to ounces, we know that 1 pint is equal to 16 ounces. Therefore, 3 pints would be 3 x 16 = 48 ounces. This makes choice B the correct answer. Choice A (24 ounces) is incorrect as it represents only 1 pint, not 3. Choice C (32 ounces) and choice D (64 ounces) are also incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the conversion of pints to ounces.
Question 2 of 5
The physician ordered 20 mg of Tylenol per kg of body weight; on hand is 80 mg per tablet. The child weighs 12 kg. How many tablets will you give?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To calculate the number of tablets needed, first, find the total Tylenol dosage needed for the child: 20 mg/kg * 12 kg = 240 mg. Then, divide the total dosage needed by the dosage per tablet: 240 mg / 80 mg = 3 tablets. Therefore, the correct answer is B (3 tablets). Choice A is incorrect because 1 tablet is not sufficient to meet the required dosage. Choices C and D are incorrect as they do not match the calculated amount needed based on the child's weight and the dosage per tablet.
Question 3 of 5
Sally was able to eat 5/8 of her lunch. John ate 75% of his lunch. Who ate more?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Certainly! To compare, we need to convert both fractions to a common denominator. LCM of 8 and 100 (8*25) is 100. Sally ate (5/8)*100 = 62.5%. John ate 75%. Clearly, 75% is more than 62.5%. So, John ate more. Other choices are incorrect as they do not consider the actual percentages consumed by Sally and John.
Question 4 of 5
The physician ordered 16 mg of Ibuprofen per kg of body weight; on hand are 80 mg tablets. The child weighs 15 kg. How many tablets will you give?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To calculate the number of tablets needed: 1. Determine the total dosage needed: 16 mg/kg x 15 kg = 240 mg. 2. Divide the total dosage by the dosage per tablet: 240 mg ÷ 80 mg = 3 tablets. 3. The correct answer is B (2 tablets) as it is the nearest whole number to the calculated 3 tablets. Choice A is incorrect because it is less than the calculated amount. Choice C is incorrect as it is less than the required dosage. Choice D is incorrect as it is a non-integer value.
Question 5 of 5
Convert 5 3/4 to a decimal. Round to the nearest tenth.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To convert 5 3/4 to a decimal, first convert the mixed number to an improper fraction: 5 3/4 = (4*5 + 3)/4 = 23/4. Then, divide the numerator by the denominator to get the decimal: 23 ÷ 4 = 5.75. Rounding to the nearest tenth gives 5.8, which is choice C. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the decimal equivalent of 5 3/4 rounded to the nearest tenth.
