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: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Mr. In an address, the salutation is the greeting used to address the recipient, typically a title or honorific followed by the recipient's last name. In this case, "Mr." is the salutation as it is used to address Mr. Ryan. The other choices are incorrect because: A: 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. is the street address. B: 20003 is the zip code (not the area code). C: Ryan is the recipient's last name, not the salutation.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: meat-eating. A carnivore is an animal that primarily feeds on meat. This is the correct answer as it directly relates to the definition of carnivore. Choice A (hungry) is incorrect as it does not define what a carnivore is, but rather describes a state of appetite. Choice C (infected) and D (demented) are completely unrelated to the term 'carnivore' and do not make sense in the context of the question.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: bilateral. "Bi" means two or both, and "lateral" refers to sides. Therefore, bilateral means on both sides. Choice B, insufficient, means not enough. Choice C, bicuspid, refers to a type of tooth with two points. Choice D, congruent, means in agreement or having the same size and shape.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Themselves. In the sentence, 'Most children must learn for themselves the importance of good manners,' 'themselves' is the reflexive pronoun that correctly refers back to the subject 'children.' 'Themself' (A) and 'theirself' (B) are non-standard forms and are not grammatically correct. 'Theirselves' (C) is also incorrect as 'theirs' is a possessive pronoun, not a reflexive pronoun. Therefore, D is the only grammatically correct option that maintains subject-verb agreement and properly refers back to the subject in the sentence.
