HESI A2 Vocabulary Quizlet

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: 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: B

Rationale: The correct order is B: aide, aid, aid. 1. "The nursing aide": 'aide' refers to a person who assists, fitting the context of a nursing professional. 2. "put the Band-aid": 'Band-aid' is a brand of adhesive bandages, used to cover wounds. 3. "on the wound to aid the nurse": 'aid' means to help or assist, making sense in the context of helping the nurse. Other choices have incorrect word order or use of words not fitting the context.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, concerned with the whole. In the context of the sentence, 'holistic' refers to a comprehensive approach that considers all aspects of a person's well-being. Dr. Grant's treatment focused on addressing Mary's overall health, not just her specific symptoms. Choice A, insensitive, and B, ignorant, are incorrect because holistic treatment is about being sensitive and knowledgeable about the patient's needs. Choice C, specialized, is incorrect as it implies a narrow focus, whereas holistic means considering the entirety of the individual.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Break. A fracture refers to a break in a bone or a hard structure. This term accurately describes the physical separation or discontinuity of the material. Choice B, Brake, refers to stopping or slowing down, not relevant to the term fracture. Choice C, Cut, involves slicing through something, not necessarily causing a break. Choice D, Cure, means to heal or remedy a condition, which is unrelated to the concept of fracture. Therefore, A is the most fitting description for the term fracture.
