HESI A2 Vocabulary Quizlet

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Cervical opening. In the context of labor, dilation refers to the opening of the cervix to allow the baby to pass through during childbirth. Blood pressure (A), birth process (C), and exhumation (D) are not related to the specific medical term dilation in this context.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Produced outside the body. In the sentence, 'exogenous factors' refer to external elements that come from outside the body and can impact the patient's well-being. This term is commonly used in medicine and biology to differentiate between factors originating externally versus internally. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the context of the sentence. Option B refers to factors produced within the body, option C specifies the kidneys which is not relevant in this context, and option D refers to hereditary factors which are inherited and not necessarily external.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct contraction for "They are" is B: They're. The contraction "They're" combines the pronoun "They" and the verb "are" into one word. "Their" (A) is a possessive pronoun, not a contraction. "The're" (C) is not a valid contraction in English. Option D, "No contraction used," is incorrect as there is a contraction for "They are," which is "They're."

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Drove. In this sentence, the action of driving more than 400 miles to reach their destination is in the past tense. "Drove" is the simple past tense form of the verb "drive," which correctly indicates a completed action in the past. A: "Driving" is the present participle form, which does not match the past tense context of the sentence. B: "Having driven" is the present perfect tense, which does not match the simple past tense required in the sentence. D: "Had drove" is grammatically incorrect as it uses "had" with the past participle "drove," which is not a correct verb form.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Able to speak more than one language. Being bilingual means having the ability to communicate in two languages fluently. This is an advantage for a nurse as it enables them to effectively interact with patients who speak different languages. Choice B (Able to use either hand), Choice C (Not squeamish about blood), and Choice D (Can remember everything) are all unrelated to the term 'bilingual' in the context of the sentence provided.
