HESI A2 Vocabulary Quizlet

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, "Quickly." In this sentence, "quickly" is an adverb modifying the verb "answering." Adverbs describe how an action is done, making it the appropriate choice to describe the manner in which answering should be done. Choices A, B, and C do not function as adverbs and do not properly modify the verb in the sentence. A simply functions as an adjective, B is incomplete, and C is not a correct comparative form. Therefore, "Quickly" is the correct choice for this sentence.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Unseemly. 'Untoward' in this context means inappropriate or improper, which aligns with the negative impact the person's actions had on the nurse. It suggests behavior that is unfavorable or not socially acceptable. A: Violent is incorrect as 'untoward' does not imply physical aggression. B: Casual is incorrect as 'untoward' conveys a sense of seriousness or impropriety, not nonchalant behavior. D: Capricious is incorrect as 'untoward' does not indicate erratic or impulsive behavior, but rather behavior that is unsuitable or inappropriate.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Hers. In the sentence, "hers" is used as a possessive pronoun, indicating ownership. However, in this context, it should be "her" instead of "hers" since "her" is the possessive form of the pronoun. Therefore, "hers" is grammatically incorrect in this sentence. The other choices, A, B, and D, are all correct in the sentence and do not contain any grammatical errors.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: form. In the context of the sentence, the word "form" is not spelled correctly. The sentence describes a nurse looking for a missing patient, so the correct spelling should be "room" instead of "form." The other choices (A: patient, C: nurse, D: missing) are spelled correctly and are relevant to the context of the sentence. Therefore, the word "form" is the only one that is misspelled in this context.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, concerned with the whole. In the context of the sentence, 'holistic' refers to a comprehensive approach that considers all aspects of a person's well-being. Dr. Grant's treatment focused on addressing Mary's overall health, not just her specific symptoms. Choice A, insensitive, and B, ignorant, are incorrect because holistic treatment is about being sensitive and knowledgeable about the patient's needs. Choice C, specialized, is incorrect as it implies a narrow focus, whereas holistic means considering the entirety of the individual.
