HESI A2 Quizlet Math Questions
Question 1 of 5
How many inches are in 2 yards?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: To convert yards to inches, remember that there are 36 inches in a yard. Therefore, when you have 2 yards, multiplying 36 inches by 2 results in 72 inches. Choice A, 36 inches, is the number of inches in 1 yard, not 2 yards. Choice B, 48 inches, and Choice C, 60 inches, are incorrect calculations based on the conversion factor of 36 inches per yard.
Question 2 of 5
The physician orders 1000 mg of Benadryl liquid; 1 g = 1 tsp. How many teaspoons will you give?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Since 1 gram (g) equals 1000 milligrams (mg) and 1 g = 1 teaspoon (tsp), the prescribed 1000 mg is equal to 1 tsp. Therefore, you will give 1 teaspoon of the Benadryl liquid. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correspond to the correct conversion of 1 g to 1 tsp, which is essential in solving this dosage calculation.
Question 3 of 5
What is the freezing point of water in degrees Celsius?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is 0°C. The freezing point of water is 0°C under standard conditions. Water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the freezing point of water. 100°C is the boiling point of water, 50°C and 25°C are not related to the freezing point of water.
Question 4 of 5
The physician ordered 20 mg of Tylenol per kg of body weight; on hand is 80 mg per tablet. The child weighs 44 lb. How many tablets will you give?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: First, convert the child's weight from pounds to kilograms: 44 lb · 2.2 = 20 kg. Next, calculate the required dosage: 20 kg 20 mg/kg = 400 mg. Since each tablet contains 80 mg, divide the total dosage by the dosage per tablet: 400 mg · 80 mg/tablet = 5 tablets. Therefore, the correct answer is 5 tablets. Choice B is incorrect because it does not account for the actual number of tablets needed. Choice C is incorrect as it is an underestimation of the required tablets. Choice D is incorrect as it is an underestimation of the required tablets.
Question 5 of 5
What is the result of adding 7 2/3 and 5 5/12?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To add mixed numbers, convert them to improper fractions. 7 2/3 = 23/3 and 5 5/12 = 65/12. Adding them results in 233/12. Converting this improper fraction back to a mixed number gives 19 5/12, which simplifies to 13 1/12. Therefore, the correct answer is 13 1/12.\nChoice A (11 1/12) is incorrect as it does not represent the correct sum of the given mixed numbers. Choice B (12 1/4) is incorrect as it is not the result of adding 7 2/3 and 5 5/12. Choice D (14 1/6) is incorrect as it is not the correct sum of the provided mixed numbers.
