HESI A2 Math Practice Exam
1. A worker's schedule is written in military time, and shows their shift is from 1500 to 0100. When will they get off work?
- A. A little bit after midnight
- B. 1:00 AM
- C. 3:00 AM
- D. 12:30 AM
Correct answer: B
Rationale: When converting military time, 0100 actually corresponds to 1:00 AM the next day. Choice A is incorrect as 'a little bit after midnight' is vague and not a specific time. Choice C is incorrect as it is after the worker's shift ends. Choice D is incorrect as it is before the worker's shift ends.
2. Multiply: 32 × 5 and express the result in decimal form.
- A. 0.0016
- B. 0.016
- C. 0.16
- D. 1.6
Correct answer: D
Rationale: To find the product of 32 and 5, you simply multiply the two numbers: 32 × 5 = 160. Therefore, when expressed in decimal form, the answer is 1.6. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not represent the correct multiplication result in decimal form. Choice A is way too small, choice B is also too small, and choice C is close but still not the correct result.
3. Karen goes to the grocery store with $40. She buys a carton of milk for $1.85, a loaf of bread for $3.20, and a bunch of bananas for $3.05. How much money does she have left?
- A. $30.95
- B. $31.90
- C. $32.10
- D. $34.95
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To determine how much money Karen has left, we first calculate the total cost of the items she bought: $1.85 + $3.20 + $3.05 = $8.10. Subtracting this total cost from the initial amount she had, $40 - $8.10 = $31.90 left. Choice A, $30.95, is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct amount left after subtracting the total cost. Choice C, $32.10, is incorrect as it is the total cost of the items she bought, not the amount left. Choice D, $34.95, is incorrect as it does not consider the expenses incurred and subtracted from the initial amount.
4. How many liters are in 8,000 milliliters?
- A. 0.8 liters
- B. 8 liters
- C. 0.8 liters
- D. 0.08 liters
Correct answer: B
Rationale: There are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. To convert milliliters to liters, you divide by 1,000. Therefore, 8,000 milliliters ÷ 1,000 = 8 liters. This makes option B the correct answer. Option A, 0.8 liters, is incorrect as it is 1/10th of the correct answer. Option C, 0.8 liters (repeated), is also incorrect. Option D, 0.08 liters, is incorrect as it is 1/100th of the correct answer.
5. A diabetic patient's blood sugar is 180mg/dL. Their usual insulin dose is 1 unit per 40mg/dL above 100mg/dL. How much insulin should be administered?
- A. 2 units
- B. 3 units
- C. 4 units
- D. 5 units
Correct answer: B
Rationale: Rationale: 1. Calculate the excess blood sugar above 100mg/dL: 180mg/dL - 100mg/dL = 80mg/dL. 2. Determine the insulin dose based on the patient's usual insulin dose: 80mg/dL / 40mg/dL = 2 units. 3. Add the calculated insulin dose to the patient's usual insulin dose: 1 unit (usual dose) + 2 units (calculated dose) = 3 units. Therefore, the correct answer is 3 units of insulin should be administered to the diabetic patient with a blood sugar level of 180mg/dL.
