Math HESI A2 Practice Test
1. A patient's temperature is measured as 38.5 degrees Celsius. What is their temperature in Fahrenheit?
- A. 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit
- B. 101.3 degrees Fahrenheit
- C. 103.1 degrees Fahrenheit
- D. 104.9 degrees Fahrenheit
Correct answer: D
Rationale: To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, you can use the formula: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32. Given that the patient's temperature is 38.5 degrees Celsius: °F = (38.5 × 9/5) + 32. °F = (69.3) + 32. °F = 101.3. Therefore, the patient's temperature in Fahrenheit is 104.9 degrees Fahrenheit (rounded to one decimal place). Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate conversion from Celsius to Fahrenheit based on the provided formula.
2. What is the result of 0.003 x 4.23?
- A. 0.01269
- B. 0.01029
- C. 0.01419
- D. 0.01329
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To find the product of 0.003 and 4.23, multiply the two numbers: 0.003 x 4.23 = 0.01269. Therefore, the correct answer is A, 0.01269. Choice B, 0.01029, is incorrect as it is the result of a different calculation. Choice C, 0.01419, is incorrect because it is not the product of 0.003 and 4.23. Choice D, 0.01329, is also incorrect as it does not represent the correct multiplication result.
3. Subtract: 15.7 - 9.8 =
- A. 6.1
- B. 8.96
- C. 5.9
- D. 4.30
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To find the difference between 15.7 and 9.8, you need to subtract 9.8 from 15.7. This operation results in 5.9. Therefore, the correct answer is 5.9. Choice A, 6.1, is incorrect as it represents the result of subtracting 9.8 from 15.9, not 15.7. Choice B, 8.96, is also incorrect as it is not the correct result of the subtraction provided. Choice D, 4.30, is incorrect as well, as it is not the result of subtracting 9.8 from 15.7.
4. A clinic sees an average of 25 patients every 4 hours. If the clinic is open for 8 hours, how many patients will they see in total?
- A. 35
- B. 50
- C. 75
- D. 200
Correct answer: D
Rationale: Rationale: 1. First, determine how many patients the clinic sees in one hour: 25 patients / 4 hours = 6.25 patients per hour (approximately 6 patients per hour) 2. Since the clinic is open for 8 hours, multiply the number of patients seen per hour by the number of hours the clinic is open: 6.25 patients/hour * 8 hours = 50 patients 3. Therefore, the clinic will see a total of 50 patients in 8 hours, which corresponds to answer choice D) 200.
5. A hospital nurse's schedule rotates every 4 days. The nurse works 3 days and has 1 day off. If the nurse's first day off is a Monday, what is the nurse's second day off?
- A. Friday
- B. Saturday
- C. Thursday
- D. Wednesday
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The nurse's schedule repeats every 4 days, with 3 days of work and 1 day off. If the first day off is Monday, then after 4 days (Monday + 4 days), the second day off will fall on Friday. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (Saturday), C (Thursday), and D (Wednesday) are incorrect as they do not align with the 4-day rotation pattern after the first day off on Monday.
