HESI A2 Vocabulary Quizlet

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.

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.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: annual. In the sentence, 'once a year' indicates the frequency of the family reunion picnic, making 'annual' the most suitable choice. Biennial means once every two years (C), regular is too vague (A), and holiday doesn't specify the frequency of occurrence (D). Therefore, 'annual' best conveys the intended meaning of the sentence.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. "Capitol" is used incorrectly in the sentence. The word should be "capital" which refers to uppercase letters. "Capitol" refers to a building where a legislative body meets. The other choices are used correctly: A: "Must always" is used correctly to emphasize the necessity of starting a sentence with a capital letter. B: "Simple" is used correctly as an adjective to describe the rule as straightforward. C: "Forget" is used correctly in the context of people not remembering the rule.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Drove. In this sentence, the action of driving more than 400 miles to reach their destination is in the past tense. "Drove" is the simple past tense form of the verb "drive," which correctly indicates a completed action in the past. A: "Driving" is the present participle form, which does not match the past tense context of the sentence. B: "Having driven" is the present perfect tense, which does not match the simple past tense required in the sentence. D: "Had drove" is grammatically incorrect as it uses "had" with the past participle "drove," which is not a correct verb form.
