HESI A2 Math Practice Test 2022

1. What is 33% of 300?

A. 3
B. 9
C. 33
D. 99

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find 33% of 300, you multiply 300 by 0.33 (which is the decimal equivalent of 33%). 300 * 0.33 = 99. Therefore, 33% of 300 equals 99. Choice A (3) is incorrect as it is too small for 33% of 300. Choice B (9) is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct calculation for finding 33% of 300. Choice C (33) is incorrect as it represents the percentage value itself, not the result of calculating 33% of 300.

2. What is the area of a rectangular room with a length of 12 meters and a width of 10 meters?

A. 120 square meters
B. 130 square meters
C. 140 square meters
D. 100 square meters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 120 square meters. To find the area of a rectangle, you multiply its length by its width. In this case, the length is 12 meters and the width is 10 meters. Therefore, the area of the room is 12m * 10m = 120 square meters. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the area of the room based on its dimensions.

3. A nurse needs to dilute 2 milliliters of a concentrated medication with 8 milliliters of sterile water. What is the final concentration of the solution in percent?

A. 16.67%
B. 20%
C. 25%
D. 50%

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the final concentration, first, calculate the total volume of the solution (2 ml + 8 ml = 10 ml). Then, determine the concentration by dividing the volume of the concentrated medication by the total volume and multiplying by 100%: (2 ml / 10 ml) * 100% = 20%. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (16.67%) is incorrect as it does not represent the correct calculation. Choices C (25%) and D (50%) are both incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate concentration resulting from the dilution process.

4. A nurse is reviewing the daily intake and output (I&O) of a patient consuming a clear diet. The drainage bag denotes a total of 1,000 mL for the past 24 hours. The total intake is: 2 8oz cups of coffee, 1 16-oz serving of clear soup, and 1 pint of water consumed throughout the day. How much is the deficit in milliliters?

A. 440 mL
B. 500 mL
C. 480 mL
D. 300 mL

Correct answer: A

Rationale: First, convert all fluid intake to milliliters: 2 8-oz cups of coffee = 8 Ã— 2 Ã— 30 = 480 mL 1 16-oz serving of clear soup = 16 Ã— 30 = 480 mL 1 pint of water = 16 Ã— 30 = 480 mL Total intake = 480 + 480 + 480 = 1440 mL. The patient produced 1,000 mL, so the deficit is: 1440 mL - 1000 mL = 440 mL. Therefore, the deficit in milliliters is 440 mL. Choice A is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate deficit calculated based on the total intake and output provided in the question.

5. If the quotient is 4 and the dividend is 12, what is the divisor?

A. 3
B. 6
C. 4
D. 9

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the divisor, you need to divide the dividend by the quotient. In this case, the dividend is 12 and the quotient is 4. Dividing 12 by 4 gives you the divisor, which is 3. Therefore, the correct answer is 4. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not result from dividing the dividend by the quotient in this scenario.
