HESI DOSAGE CALCULATIONS PRACTICE
NEWEST EXAM 2025 WITH MULTIPLE
CHOICE OF QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS ALREADY GRADED A+ AND 100%
GUARANTEE PASS (BRAND NEW!!!!!)




To change ml/hour to mcg/kg/minute, use the formula: desired
rate (5 ml/hour) / volume available (500 ml) x dose available
(800 mg) = 8 mg/hour. Next, convert milligrams/hour to
mcg/kg/minute: mg (8) x 1000 / kg (70) / 60 minutes = 1.904
= 1.9 mcg/kg/minute.


A client is receiving an IV solution of sodium chloride 0.9%
(Normal Saline) 250 ml with amiodarone (Cordarone) 1 gram at
17 ml/hour. How many mg/minute of amiodarone is infusing?
(Enter numeric value only. If rounding is required, round to the
nearest tenth.) - CORRECT ANSWER-Convert grams to mg, 1 gram
equals 1,000 mg. Using ratio and proportion - 1,000 mg : 250
ml :: X mg : 1ml 250X= 1,000 so X = 4 mg/ml is the solution
concentration of amiodarone. The infusion rate (ml/hour) x
concentration (mg/ml) divided by 60 minutes/hour 17 ml/hour
x 4 mg/ml = 68/60 = 1.13 = 1.1 mg/minute.


A client who weighs 176 pounds is receiving an IV infusion with
esmolol hydrochloride (Brevibloc) at 48 ml/hour. The IV
solution is labeled with the concentration of Brevibloc 10
mg/ml. How many mcg/kg/minute is the client receiving?
(Enter numeric value only.) - CORRECT ANSWER-100

,Convert pounds to kg by dividing 176 pounds by 2.2 pounds =
80 kg. Convert the IV concentration from mg to mcg. 1 mg :
1000 mcg :: 10 mg : 10,000 mcg. Infusion rate (48 ml/hour) x
concentration (10,000 mcg/ml) divided by 60 minutes/hour x
80 kg = 48 x 10,000 divided by 60 x 80 = 480, =
100 mcg/kg/minute.


The nurse is preparing the change-of-shift report for a client
who has a 265 ml secondary infusion that was started 2 hours
ago at a rate of 85 ml/hour via an infusion pump. The nurse
should report that how many ml remain to be infused by the
on-coming nurse? (Enter numeric value only.) - CORRECT ANSWER-
95


85 ml x 2 hours = 170 ml has infused. 265 ml (total amount to
be infused) - 170 ml (amount infused) = 95 ml remain to be
infused.


A male client receives a prescription for ondansetron
hydrochloride (Zofran) 4 mg IV to prevent postoperative
nausea after an inguinal hernia repair. The medication is
available in 2 mg/ml. How many ml should the nurse
administer? (Enter numeric value only.) - CORRECT ANSWER-2


Use ratio and proportion, 4 mg : X ml = 2 mg : 1 ml 2X = 4 X =
2


The nurse is preparing to administer Hepatitis B Vaccine,
Recombinant (Energix-B) 5 mcg IM to a school-aged child. The
vaccine is labeled, 10 mcg/ml. How many ml should the nurse

, administer? (Enter numeric value only. If rounding is required,
round to the nearest tenth). - CORRECT ANSWER-1 or 0.5


Use ratio and proportion, 5 mcg : X ml :: 10 mcg : 1ml
10X = 5 X = 0.5 ml


A client's daily PO prescription for aripiprazole (Abilify) is
increased from 15 mg to 30 mg. The medication is available in
15 mg tablets, and the client already received one tablet today.
How many additional tablets should the nurse administer so
the client receives the total newly prescribed dose for the day?
(Enter numeric value only.) - CORRECT ANSWER-1


30 mg (total dose) - 15 mg (dose already administered) = 15 mg
that still needs to be administered. Using the Desired/Have
formula: 15 mg/15 mg = 1 tablet


At the end of the shift, the nurse is recording the fluid balance
for a client receiving a continuous gastrostomy tube (GT)
feeding. Based on the client's records, how many ml should the
nurse record for the total fluid balance (intake - output) for the
shift that started at 0700 and ended at 1900? (Enter numeric
value only.) (Click on each image asset for additional
information.) - CORRECT ANSWER-695


The tube feeding is administered at 75 ml/hour for 11 hours
(0700 - 1800) and then turned off for one hour because the
residual is greater than 200 ml. 11 hours x 75 ml/hr = 825 ml.
Three doses of 20 ml of medication are administered, with 10
ml of water used to flush the GT before and after each dose. 20
ml x 3 doses = 60 ml; 10 ml (flush) x 2 x 3 doses = 60 ml; so
