HESI A2 Vocabulary Quizlet

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Occurrence. In this context, 'incidence' refers to the frequency or rate at which smoking is happening. It is not referring to prestige, glamour, or influence. 'Prestige' and 'glamour' are about status and attractiveness, which are not relevant in the context of smoking rates. 'Influence' refers to the impact or sway of something, which does not directly relate to the frequency or rate of smoking. Therefore, choice B is the correct answer.

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: 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.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct order is: Assemble, assembly, assembled, assembling. First, we arrange "Assemble" before "Assembly" as it comes before nouns alphabetically. Then, we place "assembled" before "assembling" as it is the past tense verb. Lastly, "assembling" goes after "assembled" because it is the present participle form. Choice A is incorrect as it places "assembling" before "assembled." Choice B is incorrect as it places "assembly" before "assembling." Choice D is incorrect as it places "assembled" before "assembly."

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: "Were raised." In this context, the phrase should be in the passive voice to indicate that the glasses were lifted by the guests. The verb "raised" is the correct past participle form of "raise" when used in the passive voice. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they either use the incorrect past participle form of the verb ("risen" in A and B) or use an intransitive verb that does not convey the intended meaning ("arose" in D, which means to come into existence).
