HESI A2 Vocabulary Quizlet

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct order is B: aide, aid, aid. 1. "The nursing aide": 'aide' refers to a person who assists, fitting the context of a nursing professional. 2. "put the Band-aid": 'Band-aid' is a brand of adhesive bandages, used to cover wounds. 3. "on the wound to aid the nurse": 'aid' means to help or assist, making sense in the context of helping the nurse. Other choices have incorrect word order or use of words not fitting the context.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: corresponding. In this context, 'symmetric' refers to patterns on the patient's back that are identical or similar on both sides. Symmetry implies correspondence or similarity in shape, size, or arrangement. Scabbed (A) and painful (B) do not relate to the concept of symmetry. Geometric (D) is also incorrect as it specifically refers to shapes and forms, not necessarily to the idea of correspondence or similarity.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct reflexive pronoun in this sentence is 'Oneself'. In this case, 'Oneself' is used to refer back to 'a person', making the sentence grammatically correct. 'Themselves' is incorrect because it is plural, 'Itself' does not match the singular subject, and 'Yourself' is incorrect as it refers to the second person. Therefore, 'Oneself' is the most suitable reflexive pronoun in this context.

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: pugnacious. Belligerent means hostile and aggressive, which aligns with the definition of pugnacious. Retired (A) means no longer working, sardonic (B) means mocking, and acclimated (D) means adjusted to new conditions, none of which capture the aggressive nature of 'belligerent'.
