HESI RN Dosage Calculations Pre-Assessment 2 Foundational Medication Math Diagnostic for RN Progression 2025 Edition

The HESI RN Dosage Calculations Pre-Assessment 2, developed by Elsevier's Health Education Systems Incorporated (HESI), is a preliminary 30–40 question diagnostic tool to gauge Registered Nursing (RN) students' baseline proficiency in medication computations before full exams. This untimed or short-form adaptive assessment focuses on core skills like dosage conversions (e.g., mcg/kg/hr to mL), IV drip rates (gtt/min via drop factors), oral/parenteral preparations, and introductory scenarios such as insulin dilutions or heparin boluses, building on Pre-Assessment 1 with increased complexity in pediatric BSA and TPN rates. Aligned with NCLEX-RN safety standards, it uses multiple-choice and calculation formats to identify gaps in dimensional analysis and error detection. Scores guide remediation plans in ADN/BSN programs; a 75%+ benchmark indicates readiness. Ideal for early pharmacology courses, preparation involves basic formula reviews and Quizlet flashcards (100+ questions), achievable in 5–10 hours. Available via HESI Compass, it empowers targeted study for confident clinical application in diverse settings.
