HESI A2 Vocabulary Quizlet Questions

Question 1 of 5

To implement something is to:

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: cause it to happen. When you implement something, you are taking action to make it happen or become a reality. You are executing a plan or process to achieve a specific goal or result. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because preventing something, emphasizing importance, or following from beginning to end do not capture the essence of implementation, which is about putting a plan into action to bring about a desired outcome.

Question 2 of 5

In the address 'Mr. Ryan, 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., Washington, DC 20003,' which word is the salutation?

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.

Question 3 of 5

Which word is NOT CORRECTLY USED in the sentence? Confidentiality should be observed at all times, so the nurse should not discuss clients when the conversation can be overheard.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Be observed. In the sentence, "be observed" is not correctly used because the verb "observe" should be in the passive form "observed" to match the tense of the sentence. The correct form should be "Confidentiality should be observed at all times." The other choices (B, C, D) are all used appropriately in the sentence and do not have any grammatical errors.

Question 4 of 5

Select the meaning of the word 'precipitous' in the sentence: 'The precipitous change was considered a good thing.'

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Abrupt. In the sentence, 'precipitous' is describing a change that happened suddenly or unexpectedly. This aligns with the definition of 'abrupt,' meaning sudden or unexpected. The other choices, A: Difficult, C: Gentle, and D: Unanticipated, do not accurately capture the meaning of 'precipitous' in the context of the sentence. 'Difficult' refers to challenges, 'gentle' suggests something calm or mild, and 'unanticipated' means not expected, none of which fully match the context of a sudden change described as 'precipitous.'

Question 5 of 5

Select the meaning of the word 'overt' in the sentence: 'Despite the absence of overt signs, Dr. Harris suspected Alicia might be suffering from the flu.'

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: apparent. In the sentence, 'overt' is used to describe signs that are not concealed but rather visible or obvious. Dr. Harris suspected Alicia might have the flu despite the absence of visible or obvious signs. 'Concealed' (A) means hidden, 'expert' (C) refers to a person with advanced knowledge, and 'delectable' (D) means delicious. These choices do not fit the context of the sentence.
