HESI A2 Vocabulary Quizlet

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is "B: That" because it is used to introduce a defining relative clause, providing essential information about the people who were there that night. "Whom" is incorrect as it is used for objects, not subjects. "Which" is incorrect because it is used for things, not people. "Whose" is incorrect as it indicates possession, not the relationship between the people and the night. In this context, "that" is the most appropriate relative pronoun to refer to the people.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Farthest from injury. In anatomical terms, 'distal' refers to a body part that is farthest away from a point of reference, usually the point of attachment or origin. This is the most accurate description of the term 'distal' in medical contexts. The other choices are incorrect because: A: Receives blood from lungs - This describes the function of a specific body part, not the location or position. C: Closest to heart - This describes proximity to the heart, which is the opposite of what 'distal' means. D: Empathetic - This choice is unrelated to the anatomical term 'distal' and does not provide a relevant description.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: swollen. In the given context, 'distended' refers to the victim's belly being swollen or bloated due to the abdominal pain from food poisoning. This is supported by the description of the victim moaning and rubbing his belly, typical behaviors associated with a swollen or bloated abdomen. Explanation for incorrect choices: A: Concave means curved inward, the opposite of distended which means swollen or expanded. B: Sore means tender or painful, which is not the meaning of 'distended' in this context. D: Empty means containing nothing, which does not align with the description of a swollen belly in the sentence.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is "D: In spite of." This phrase is the most appropriate because it is used to show contrast or contradiction between two ideas, indicating that the person went to the party despite her dislike for the host. "Despite of" (A) is grammatically incorrect; "Even though" (B) is similar in meaning but not as strong as "In spite of"; "Although" (C) is used to introduce a contrast but does not convey the same level of contradiction as "In spite of."

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: ilium. The ilium is one of the three bones that make up the hip bone (along with the ischium and pubis). It is the largest and most superior portion of the hip bone. The lateral portion of the hip bone is indeed the ilium. Choice B: ileum is incorrect because the ileum is part of the small intestine, not a bone in the hip. Choice C: icterus is incorrect because it refers to a medical condition characterized by yellowing of the skin and eyes, not a bone in the hip. Choice D: ileus is incorrect because it is a medical term that refers to a blockage in the intestines, not a bone in the hip.
