I take my test on the 25th of this month. What I'm doing to help me with the grammar and vocabulary is the Elsevier 4th addition HESI A2 study guide and an app called HESI prep (it's red and white)...the pocket prep app (white and purple) is a pretty good app too, but you have to pay $15 to access all of the practice questions once the free trial questions run out. I've also been using a website called HESI A2 Practice Test | Free HESI Exam Practice Questions ...this is a really good website and it really helps with vocab and especially my least favorite...grammar!...I really hope you do well on your test..please update how you did once you've taken it, I would love to know!

Did you pass?

Thank you for the advice!.... If you don't mind me asking, what materials helped you study?..also what were your scores on each section you had to take?

Good luck!... Please keep us posted on how you did!!!

How long did you study before taking the exam?

I take the HESI A2 Exam on August 25th, and I'm super nervous about it!!!.. I've been studying since the start of this month and I feel I know a great deal of material ,but there's always the anxiety of oh my goodness this Exam is going to be extremely hard!!!... Has anyone here taken the HESI before?... Was it harder or easier than what expected?...

It means 3-5mg per kg per day... right?

Would I set it up like this then? dose = 4.09kg/10mg X 20mg/5mL X 12hr?

Okay so.. The total daily dose would be 10mg every 12 hours?... 9lb÷2.2lb= 4.09kg...that's as far as I get..when I look at that 3 to 5 mg/kg/day q12h I'm still confused

I honestly don't even know how to start it. I don't know if I start off with the dosage on hand or the dose the doctor gives!!!... I've never had a problem that says mg/kg/day so I'm totally confused!!!!..

I've tried absolutely everything... I'm just not getting it and I'm very frustrated!!!!!

The doctor orders Phenobarbital 10 mg q12h for a child weighing 9 lb. The Pediatric Drug handbook states maintenance dose is 3 to 5 mg/kg/day q12h. Phenobarbital Elixir is available in dosage strength of 20 mg per 5 ml. If safe, what will you administer for one dose?
