HESI A2 Version 1 Grammar Questions
Question 1 of 5
Select the word or phrase in the sentence that is not used correctly: The charge nurse overheard the nursing assistant discussing the private details of a client's medical condition with a personal friend in the hospital cafeteria.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is 'D - Personal.' In this context, 'personal' is the correct term to describe a friend who is not related to work or the hospital environment. It is important to maintain confidentiality and professionalism in healthcare settings. Discussing private client details with personal acquaintances is a violation of confidentiality. This situation should be addressed to ensure compliance with ethical standards and protect the client's privacy.
Question 2 of 5
Select the word or phrase in the sentence that is not used correctly : The man's heart attack scared him badly, and he decided having a regular check-up from then on.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The word "having" in the original sentence is grammatically incorrect. After the verb "decided," the correct structure requires the infinitive form of the verb, which is "to have." Therefore, the phrase should read "decided to have a regular check-up." This structure clearly indicates the man's choice to start a new action. Additionally, the phrase "from then on" effectively emphasizes the beginning of this new habit of regular check-ups, reinforcing the need for the infinitive form. Thus, option A is the most appropriate and grammatically correct choice.
Question 3 of 5
Which sentence is grammatically correct?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Choice A is the correct answer. The sentence 'Pizza is better than hotdogs' is grammatically correct. It uses 'than' appropriately to compare pizza and hotdogs. Choice B is incorrect as it should use 'than' to compare dogs and cats instead of 'then.' Choice C is also incorrect because it incorrectly uses 'then' instead of 'than' for comparison. Choice D is incorrect and incomplete as it lacks a proper comparison after 'then.' Therefore, the correct choice is A.
Question 4 of 5
In which sentence is 'snake' used as a verb?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. In this sentence, 'snake' is used as a verb to describe the spy's stealthy movement onto the train. The other choices use 'snake' as a noun (referring to a reptile or a tool) or as an adjective to describe behavior. Only in choice B is 'snake' used as a verb, indicating a sinuous and secretive movement.
Question 5 of 5
Which sentence is grammatically correct?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. 'Continuously' means without interruption, fitting the context of the disc rotating. In contrast, 'continually' suggests something happening repeatedly but with breaks, which does not align with the continuous rotation of the disc.
