HESI A2 Version 4 Grammar Questions
Question 1 of 5
Select the best word for the blank in the following sentence: My brother and ______ are going to the movies this weekend.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'B - I.' The pronoun 'I' is used as the subject of a sentence, so in this case, 'My brother and I are going to the movies this weekend' is the correct form. When referring to oneself along with someone else as the subject of a sentence, 'I' should be used, not 'me.' Choices C and D are not appropriate in this context as they are not subject pronouns.
Question 2 of 5
Children depend on their parents for food, clothing, and shelter.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct sentence should read: 'Children depend on their parents for food, clothing, and shelter.' The preposition 'on' is used to show dependency. Children rely on their parents for essential needs. The other choices do not fit grammatically in the sentence or context of providing for children's basic necessities.
Question 3 of 5
To be admitted to the university, he---------------to make an application by May 15.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In this sentence, the subject 'he' requires the singular verb 'has' to match. The sentence structure indicates a requirement or obligation, which is conveyed appropriately by 'has'. Therefore, 'Has' is the correct choice to maintain subject-verb agreement. The sentence should read as 'To be admitted to the university, he has to make an application by May 15.' This construction correctly expresses the obligation he has to fulfill. Hence, the correct answer is 'Has'.
Question 4 of 5
Select the word or phrase in the sentence that is not used correctly: The data indicates that the patient is suffering from extreme anxiety, and tranquilizing medication is immediately required.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Indicates.' In the sentence, 'indicate' should be used instead of 'indicates' to match the plural subject 'data.' 'Indicate' is the correct plural form of the verb for the plural subject 'data.' The other choices ('extreme anxiety,' 'is,' 'immediately') are used correctly in the sentence. Remember that when the subject is plural, the verb should also be in its plural form, which is 'indicate' in this case.
Question 5 of 5
Based on aseptic principles, should a sterile packet below waist level be considered contaminated?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Principles.' According to aseptic technique, sterile items should be kept above waist level to maintain their sterility. Placing a sterile packet below waist level exposes it to potential contamination, thus violating aseptic principles. It is crucial to follow aseptic principles to prevent the introduction of microorganisms and uphold a sterile environment during procedures, minimizing the risk of infections.
