HESI A2 Vocabulary Quizlet

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because the subject "Sherri and her cousin" is plural, requiring the plural verb "were." "Was" would be incorrect for a plural subject. In choices A, B, and C, the verbs "were" and "is" are incorrectly paired with singular subjects like "a pitchfork," "a pig, sheep, and horse," and "here," respectively. Therefore, they are incorrect.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Were. In this sentence, the verb should be in the subjunctive mood to express a hypothetical situation. "Were" is the correct subjunctive form for the verb "to be" in the past tense when used in this context. It indicates an unreal or hypothetical situation. The other choices, B: Is, C: Be, and D: Was, are incorrect because they do not correctly represent the subjunctive mood required for hypothetical or unreal situations. "Is" is present tense, "Be" is an infinitive form, and "Was" is past tense but not the correct subjunctive form in this context.

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: 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: Measures contributing to cleanliness. Hygiene refers to practices that promote cleanliness and health. In the context of the sentence, skimping on personal hygiene would mean neglecting activities such as washing, grooming, and sanitation. Choice B, financial resources, and Choice C, insurance, are unrelated to the meaning of hygiene in this context. Choice D, friendliness, is also irrelevant as it does not relate to cleanliness or health.
