What is 3/4 minus 1/6?
Alle 15 spørgsmål i overblik
Vil du hellere læse, før du går i gang? Alle spørgsmål i smagsprøven står herunder. Svar og forklaringer er foldet sammen, indtil du åbner dem.
1. What is 3/4 minus 1/6?
- A. 1/2
- B. 7/12
- C. 2/3
- D. 11/12
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: B. 7/12
Rewrite both fractions with a common denominator of 12: 3/4 becomes 9/12 and 1/6 becomes 2/12. Subtracting gives 7/12, which does not reduce further. Adding the two by mistake gives 11/12, the trap answer.
2. A student answers 42 of the 50 questions on a quiz correctly. What percent did the student get right?
- A. 74%
- B. 80%
- C. 84%
- D. 88%
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: C. 84%
Divide 42 by 50 to get 0.84, then multiply by 100 to get 84 percent. When the total is 50 you can also just double it, since 50 goes into 100 exactly twice.
3. An order reads 0.5 g of a medication. The tablets on hand are 250 mg each. How many tablets should be given?
- A. Half a tablet
- B. 1 tablet
- C. 2 tablets
- D. 5 tablets
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: C. 2 tablets
Convert to the same unit first: one gram is 1,000 milligrams, so 0.5 g is 500 mg. Then divide what you want by what you have: 500 divided by 250 is 2 tablets.
4. Complete the sentence.
A nurse charts an assessment done at 4:45 pm. Written in military time, that is _____.
Muligheder for felt 1: 0445, 1445, 1645, 1845
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: 1645
After noon, add 12 to the hour and leave the minutes alone, so 4 pm becomes 16 and 4:45 pm becomes 1645. Before noon the two clocks match, which is why 4:45 am is simply 0445.
5. Read the passage: "Nursing programs usually list a minimum entrance exam score, but the score alone rarely decides who gets in. Most programs also weigh prerequisite grades, a personal statement and an interview. Applicants who treat the exam as the only hurdle are often surprised by a rejection." Which sentence best states the main idea?
- A. Entrance exam scores do not matter for nursing admission
- B. Nursing programs weigh several things besides the entrance exam score
- C. Every nursing program requires an interview
- D. Prerequisite grades are the most important part of an application
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: B. Nursing programs weigh several things besides the entrance exam score
The passage puts the exam next to grades, a statement and an interview, so the point is that the score is one factor among several. Choice A overstates it, and the last two claim specifics the passage never says.
6. Read the passage: "The study guide promised full coverage in fourteen days. Three hundred pages later it had reached chapter two, but it had reminded me nine times to stay positive." Which word best describes the author's tone?
- A. Grateful
- B. Sarcastic
- C. Neutral
- D. Alarmed
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: B. Sarcastic
The gap between the promise and the result, plus the jab about being told nine times to stay positive, is mockery rather than a plain report. That is sarcasm.
7. A drug label lists a contraindication. What does that mean?
- A. A reason the drug should not be used
- B. The recommended dose for children
- C. A second drug that strengthens the effect
- D. A sign that the drug is working
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: A. A reason the drug should not be used
Contra- means against, so a contraindication is a condition or factor that makes a treatment unsafe or unwise for that patient. Its opposite is an indication, which is a reason to use the drug.
8. Complete the sentence.
The patient's abdomen is swollen and stretched tight, so the nurse charts it as _____.
Muligheder for felt 1: depleted, distended, dilated, discharged
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: distended
Distended means swollen or stretched by pressure from inside, which is how a bloated abdomen is described. Dilated means widened or opened, and it is used for pupils and blood vessels instead.
9. Which of the following describe something you could observe just by looking at a patient's skin?
Vælg alle, der passer.
- A. Flushed
- B. Jaundiced
- C. Lethargic
- D. Cyanotic
- E. Hypertensive
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: A. Flushed, B. Jaundiced, D. Cyanotic
Flushed means reddened, jaundiced means yellowed and cyanotic means bluish, so all three are skin color findings you can see. Lethargic describes how alert and responsive the patient is, and hypertensive is only known from a blood pressure reading.
10. Choose the word that correctly completes the sentence: "The unit ordered ___ supplies this month than last month."
- A. fewer
- B. less
- C. lesser
- D. least
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: A. fewer
Fewer goes with things you can count one by one, such as supplies, patients or doses. Less goes with amounts you measure as a whole, such as fluid, pain or time.
11. Which vessel carries deoxygenated blood away from the heart to the lungs?
- A. Pulmonary artery
- B. Pulmonary vein
- C. Aorta
- D. Superior vena cava
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: A. Pulmonary artery
The pulmonary artery is the exception to the rule that arteries carry oxygenated blood: it moves deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs. The pulmonary veins are the other exception, carrying oxygenated blood back to the left atrium.
12. Complete the sentence.
Red blood cells carry oxygen bound to an iron-containing protein called _____.
Muligheder for felt 1: albumin, fibrin, hemoglobin, insulin
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: hemoglobin
Hemoglobin is the protein inside red blood cells that picks up oxygen in the lungs and releases it in the tissues. Its iron content is why low iron leads to anemia, tiredness and shortness of breath.
13. Which of the following are functions of the skeletal system?
Vælg alle, der passer.
- A. Producing blood cells in bone marrow
- B. Storing calcium
- C. Protecting organs such as the brain and heart
- D. Producing bile
- E. Regulating blood glucose
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: A. Producing blood cells in bone marrow, B. Storing calcium, C. Protecting organs such as the brain and heart
Bones make blood cells in red marrow, store minerals such as calcium and phosphorus, and shield organs behind the skull and rib cage. Bile comes from the liver, and blood glucose is regulated by the pancreas.
14. Which of the following statements about DNA are true?
Vælg alle, der passer.
- A. It is found in the nucleus of human cells
- B. It is made of building blocks called nucleotides
- C. It carries the instructions for building proteins
- D. It is a type of lipid
- E. It is identical in every species
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: A. It is found in the nucleus of human cells, B. It is made of building blocks called nucleotides, C. It carries the instructions for building proteins
DNA sits in the nucleus, is built from nucleotides and holds the code the cell uses to make proteins. It is a nucleic acid rather than a lipid, and its sequence differs between species and between individuals.
15. Which of the following is a chemical change rather than a physical change?
- A. Ice melting into water
- B. Sugar dissolving in tea
- C. Iron rusting
- D. Water boiling into steam
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: C. Iron rusting
A chemical change produces a new substance, and rust is iron oxide, something that was not there before. Melting, dissolving and boiling only change the form or state of a substance, so the substance itself stays the same.
Hvad HESI A2 indeholder
HESI A2 er ikke én fast prøve. Det er et sæt adskilte dele, og hver del får sin egen score. De faglige dele er Math, Reading Comprehension, Vocabulary and General Knowledge, Grammar, Biology, Chemistry, Anatomy and Physiology og Physics. Der er også to ikke-faglige dele, et spørgeskema om læringsstil og en personlighedsprofil, som bruges til vejledning frem for til at score din ansøgning.
Her er det, folk falder over. Din sygeplejeuddannelse bestemmer, hvilke dele du faktisk skal op i, så dit krævede sæt varierer fra skole til skole. Nogle uddannelser beder om fire dele, andre om flere, og to skoler i samme by kan kræve hver sit. Tidsgrænsen og den score, du skal have for at bestå, sættes også af uddannelsen og ikke af én national standard. Læs først din uddannelses optagelsesside, og byg så læseplanen op om de dele, den nævner. At læse op på Physics, når din skole aldrig stiller den, er spildt tid.
Det, der er ens, er tonen i hver del. Math bliver ved med at være praktisk: brøker, decimaltal, procent, forhold og proportioner, omregning af enheder og aflæsning af militær tid, ofte pakket ind i en situation fra sundhedsvæsenet. Vocabulary læner sig op ad hverdagsord tæt på det medicinske som contraindication, distended og flushed frem for sjældne litterære gloser. Anatomy and Physiology er den naturfaglige del, de fleste uddannelser kræver, og det er som regel den, der afgør en score på vippen.
Sådan bruger du smagsprøven
De 15 spørgsmål herunder er en stikprøve af de dele, de fleste uddannelser stiller: matematik, læsning, ordforråd, grammatik og anatomi vejer tungest her, med ét spørgsmål i biologi og ét i kemi som afrunding. Formaterne varierer også, så du får vælg alle der passer og udfyld det tomme felt ved siden af klassisk multiple choice.
Tag den i ét stræk uden noter, og bliv ved med at komme videre i stedet for at hænge fast i ét enkelt spørgsmål. Læs derefter forklaringen til hvert spørgsmål, også dem du svarede rigtigt på. På en prøve med adskilte dele peger et forkert svar på en del, ikke bare på ét faktum. To missede omregningsspørgsmål betyder, at du skal træne omregning, ikke lære de to tal udenad.
Når du er færdig, så hold det, du missede, op mod listen over de dele, din uddannelse kræver. Hvis din skole stiller Chemistry, og du gættede på kemispørgsmålet, er det der, den næste læseblok skal ligge. Hvis din skole springer Chemistry helt over, så drop det og læg tiden i anatomi.
Sådan bygger StudyPDF fulde øveprøver ud fra dit eget materiale
Femten spørgsmål kan vise dig hvor du er svag. De kan ikke gøre dig klar til eksamen alene, og en generisk spørgsmålsbank aner ikke, hvilke HESI-dele din uddannelse kræver, eller hvad din eksamensbog lægger vægt på.
StudyPDF arbejder ud fra dit eget materiale i stedet. Upload din HESI-eksamensbog, dine noter i anatomi og fysiologi eller dine forelæsningsslides, så bygger Bo, studieagenten, fulde øveprøver ud fra præcis de sider. Hvert spørgsmål bygger på dit materiale, og hver forklaring henviser til hvor svaret kommer fra, så du kan slå direkte op i kilden når noget er uklart. Du kan lave nye prøver så tit du vil, holde dem på én del som matematik eller anatomi, og følge med i hvilke begreber du bliver ved med at ramme forkert. Gratis at komme i gang.
