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

What is the CORRECT CONTRACTION for 'will not'?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct contraction for 'will not' is A: Won't. The contraction 'won't' is formed by combining 'will' and 'not', where the 'o' from 'not' replaces the 'i' in 'will'. This contraction is widely accepted and commonly used in English language. B: Willn't is not a standard contraction and is not grammatically correct. C: Wouldn't is a contraction for 'would not', not 'will not'. D: Will'nt is a non-standard and incorrect form of contraction.

Question 3 of 5

Select the meaning of the word 'parameters' in the sentence: 'The parameters of medical ethics require the nurse to report suspected child abuse.'

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The word 'parameters' in this context refers to the limits or boundaries set by medical ethics for the nurse's actions. It defines the acceptable behavior and actions within a specific framework. 'Laws' (A) are legal regulations, not ethical guidelines. 'Common sense' (C) is subjective and not specific to medical ethics. 'Structure' (D) does not capture the idea of boundaries or limits imposed by ethical standards. Therefore, 'Limits' (B) is the most appropriate choice.

Question 4 of 5

Which word is NOT USED CORRECTLY in the sentence? They're going to the mall to pick up there uniforms for their coach.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: There. In the sentence, "They're going to the mall to pick up their uniforms for their coach," the word "there" is used incorrectly. "There" indicates a location, while in this context, it should be "their" to show possession. "Their" is the correct possessive form for the word "uniforms." "They're" is a contraction for "they are" and is used correctly in the sentence. "Going" is also used correctly as the verb describing the action. Thus, "there" is the only word that is not used correctly in the sentence.

Question 5 of 5

Select the meaning of the word 'incidence' in the sentence: 'The incidence of smoking has decreased.'

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.
