HESI A2 Math Practice Test 2022 Questions
Question 1 of 5
The formula for body mass index (BMI) is BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)^2. If a patient's BMI is 25 and their height is 1.7m, what is their weight?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Given: BMI = 25 Height = 1.7m We can rearrange the formula for BMI to solve for weight: BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)^2 25 = weight / (1.7)^2 25 = weight / 2.89 Weight = 25 * 2.89 Weight = 72.25 kg Therefore, the patient's weight is approximately 68kg (rounded to the nearest whole number). Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not match the calculated weight of 68kg.
Question 2 of 5
Change the following fraction into a ratio: 22/91
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert a fraction into a ratio, you express it as a ratio of two numbers separated by a colon. Therefore, 22/91 as a ratio is 22:91. Choice B (1/3) is a different fraction not equivalent to 22/91. Choice C (22/91) is the original fraction and not the ratio form. Choice D is irrelevant to the question.
Question 3 of 5
Convert the following decimal to a percent: 0.0068
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percent, move the decimal point two places to the right. Therefore, 0.0068 as a percentage is 0.68%. Choice A is correct because it represents the correct conversion. Choice B is incorrect as it would be the decimal 6.8 represented as a percentage. Choice C is incorrect as it would be the decimal 0.068 represented as a percentage. Choice D is incorrect as it is the original decimal value.
Question 4 of 5
A physician wants to prescribe 5 mg of a medication to a patient. The medication comes in a 2-mg dose per 1-mL vial. How many milliliters of the medication should the patient receive?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To determine the amount of medication the patient should receive, divide the prescribed dose by the dose per mL in the vial. In this case, 5 mg · 2 mg/mL = 2.5 mL. Therefore, the patient should receive 2.5 mL of the medication. Choice B (2 mL) is incorrect because it does not reflect the correct calculation. Choice C (3 mL) is incorrect as it is higher than the actual amount calculated. Choice D (1 mL) is incorrect as it is lower than the actual amount calculated.
Question 5 of 5
Change the following percentage to a decimal: 76.3%
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To convert a percentage to a decimal, divide by 100. In this case, to convert 76.3% to a decimal, you move the decimal point two places to the left, resulting in 0.763. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A (0.0763) is incorrect as it represents 7.63% as a decimal. Choice B (7) and Choice D (7.63) are not correct conversions of the given percentage to a decimal.
