HESI A2 Vocabulary Quizlet

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: forbid. 'Proscribe' means to officially forbid something. The root word 'pro' means 'before' or 'in front of,' and 'scribe' means 'write.' Therefore, 'proscribe' literally means 'to write before,' as in writing a law or rule to prohibit something. Choice A, anticipate, is incorrect as it means to expect or foresee. Choice B, prevent, is incorrect as it means to stop something from happening. Choice C, defeat, is incorrect as it means to overcome or win against someone or something.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct order is: Assemble, assembly, assembled, assembling. First, we arrange "Assemble" before "Assembly" as it comes before nouns alphabetically. Then, we place "assembled" before "assembling" as it is the past tense verb. Lastly, "assembling" goes after "assembled" because it is the present participle form. Choice A is incorrect as it places "assembling" before "assembled." Choice B is incorrect as it places "assembly" before "assembling." Choice D is incorrect as it places "assembled" before "assembly."

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: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Able to speak more than one language. Being bilingual means having the ability to communicate in two languages fluently. This is an advantage for a nurse as it enables them to effectively interact with patients who speak different languages. Choice B (Able to use either hand), Choice C (Not squeamish about blood), and Choice D (Can remember everything) are all unrelated to the term 'bilingual' in the context of the sentence provided.
