HESI A2 Vocabulary Quizlet
1. Use the VERB correctly.
- A. A pitchfork and a halter were left on the concrete floor.
- B. There is a pig, sheep, and horse in the red trailer.
- C. Here are the cages for the 2 rabbits and 2 chickens.
- D. Sherri and her cousin were at the County fair this year.
Correct answer: D
Rationale: Choice D, 'Sherri and her cousin were at the County fair this year,' is the correct answer. 'Sherri and her cousin' is a compound subject, requiring the plural verb 'were' for proper subject-verb agreement. Choices A, B, and C contain subject-verb agreement errors. In Choice A, 'A pitchfork and a halter' is a compound subject and should be followed by the plural verb 'were.' In Choice B, 'a pig, sheep, and horse' is a list of items that should take the plural verb 'are.' Lastly, in Choice C, 'Here are' should be used instead of 'Here is' to match the plural subject 'the cages for the 2 rabbits and 2 chickens.'
2. Select the word that means 'a violent seizure.'
- A. revelation
- B. nutrient
- C. contraption
- D. paroxysm
Correct answer: D
Rationale: 'Paroxysm' is the correct answer as it refers to a sudden, violent seizure or outburst. The other choices are incorrect because 'revelation' means a surprising and previously unknown fact, 'nutrient' refers to a substance that provides nourishment, and 'contraption' means a machine or device that is strange or unnecessarily complicated.
3. Select the meaning of the word 'initial' in the sentence: 'The doctor made an initial examination of the patient.'
- A. Complete
- B. First
- C. Incomplete
- D. Discharge
Correct answer: B
Rationale: In this context, 'initial' means 'first,' referring to the first examination conducted by the doctor. The initial examination is the first assessment or evaluation performed on the patient. Therefore, 'first' is the correct meaning in this sentence. 'Complete' (choice A) is incorrect as initial does not imply completeness, 'incomplete' (choice C) is incorrect as initial does not mean unfinished, and 'discharge' (choice D) is unrelated to the concept of an initial examination.
4. Which word is not spelled correctly in the sentence: 'The physician thought it was unnecessary to explain the procedure.'
- A. physician
- B. unnecessary
- C. explain
- D. procedure
Correct answer: B
Rationale: The word 'unnecessary' is misspelled as 'unecessary' in the sentence. The correct spelling should have double 'n' as in 'unnecessary'. Choice A, C, and D are spelled correctly in the sentence provided.
5. Select the correct order of words to fit in the sentence structure: 'The nursing ___ put the Band- ___ on the wound to ___ the nurse.'
- A. aid, aide, aide
- B. aide, aid, aid
- C. aid, aide, aid
- D. aide, aid, aide
Correct answer: B
Rationale: The correct order of words to fit in the sentence structure is 'aide, aid, aid.' 'Aide' refers to a person who assists (nursing aide), while 'aid' refers to help or assistance (Band-aid and aid the nurse). Therefore, the sequence 'aide, aid, aid' correctly completes the sentence. Choices A, C, and D have the incorrect order of words that do not fit the sentence context.
