HESI A2 Vocabulary Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
What is the CORRECT CONTRACTION for 'They are'?
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."
Question 2 of 5
Select the meaning of the word 'PRN' in the sentence: 'The nurse gave the patient a PRN medication.'
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Reduce. PRN stands for "pro re nata," which means 'as needed' in medical terminology. In this context, the nurse gave the patient a medication to be taken as needed to reduce symptoms, not to pinpoint, relocate, or eradicate them. The other choices do not align with the common usage of PRN in healthcare settings.
Question 3 of 5
Select the meaning of the word 'dilation' in the sentence: 'The laboring mother was at 50% dilation.'
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Cervical opening. In the context of labor, dilation refers to the opening of the cervix to allow the baby to pass through during childbirth. Blood pressure (A), birth process (C), and exhumation (D) are not related to the specific medical term dilation in this context.
Question 4 of 5
The patient fractured the lateral portion of the hip bone, which is known as the _____.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: ilium. The ilium is one of the three bones that make up the hip bone (along with the ischium and pubis). It is the largest and most superior portion of the hip bone. The lateral portion of the hip bone is indeed the ilium. Choice B: ileum is incorrect because the ileum is part of the small intestine, not a bone in the hip. Choice C: icterus is incorrect because it refers to a medical condition characterized by yellowing of the skin and eyes, not a bone in the hip. Choice D: ileus is incorrect because it is a medical term that refers to a blockage in the intestines, not a bone in the hip.
Question 5 of 5
Which reflexive pronoun correctly completes the sentence? 'When a person finds ___ in a stressful situation, it helps to breathe deeply.'
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct reflexive pronoun in this sentence is 'Oneself'. In this case, 'Oneself' is used to refer back to 'a person', making the sentence grammatically correct. 'Themselves' is incorrect because it is plural, 'Itself' does not match the singular subject, and 'Yourself' is incorrect as it refers to the second person. Therefore, 'Oneself' is the most suitable reflexive pronoun in this context.
