HESI A2 Vocabulary Quizlet

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: "Is." In the sentence, "Economics" is a singular subject, so it should be followed by the singular verb "is." "Been" (B) is past tense and doesn't match the present tense in the sentence. "Am" (C) is first-person singular, not third-person singular like the subject "Economics." "Are" (D) is plural, which doesn't agree with the singular subject. Therefore, "is" is the correct verb choice to maintain subject-verb agreement.

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: 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 answer is B because the sentence contains a sequence error. The action of trimming nails should logically come before bathing. The correct sequence should be "The nurse decided to trim his nails, then bathe the client." Choices A, C, and D are grammatically correct as they have proper subject-verb agreement, clear sentence structure, and logical sequencing of events.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, impending. "Impending" means about to happen or looming. The prefix "im-" means "into" or "towards," and "pend" means "to hang." Therefore, impending suggests something is hanging over us and about to happen soon. A: Depending means relying on or influenced by something. B: Offending means causing displeasure or annoyance. C: Suspending means temporarily stopping or delaying.
