HESI A2 Vocabulary Quizlet

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Head. In this sentence, the preposition "on" is used to indicate the location where the person was hit. When referring to body parts, we typically use the word directly without any prepositions. Therefore, the phrase "on head" is incorrect as it adds an unnecessary preposition. Choices C and D are also incorrect because the article "a" or "the" is not needed before the body part in this context. So, the most concise and grammatically correct phrase is "hit on head."

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.

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.

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 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.
