HESI A2 Vocabulary Quizlet

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 answer is B: Library. The sentence should read, "During the time he lived in New York, he worked as a writer, an editor, and a librarian." The word "library" is incorrect as it should be "librarian" to refer to a person who works in a library. A, C, and D are grammatically correct as "an" is used before a vowel sound, "as" is a conjunction showing the relationship between his time in New York and his work, and "during" is a preposition indicating a period of time.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: There. In the sentence, "They're going to the mall to pick up their uniforms for their coach," the word "there" is used incorrectly. "There" indicates a location, while in this context, it should be "their" to show possession. "Their" is the correct possessive form for the word "uniforms." "They're" is a contraction for "they are" and is used correctly in the sentence. "Going" is also used correctly as the verb describing the action. Thus, "there" is the only word that is not used correctly in the sentence.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: A. In the sentence, "A dog barked loudly," the article "A" is grammatically correct as it precedes the singular noun "dog." The other choices do not need correction as they are grammatically sound in the sentence. "About it" is a prepositional phrase, "With" is a preposition, and "Made" is the past tense verb. Therefore, the only word that needs correction for proper grammar is choice B, "A."

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Present on two sides. In the sentence, "bilateral" means that the weakness is affecting both hindquarters of the dog. This term is commonly used in medical contexts to indicate a condition or symptom that occurs on both sides of the body. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the meaning of "bilateral" in this context. Choice B is unrelated to the concept of bilateral, while choices C and D incorrectly suggest that the weakness is only affecting one side of the dog's hindquarters.
