HESI A2 Vocabulary Quizlet Questions

Question 1 of 5

Which phrase correctly completes the sentence? 'During the fight, I was hit on ___.'

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."

Question 2 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 3 of 5

Which reflexive pronoun correctly completes the sentence? 'When a person finds ___ in a stressful situation, it helps to breathe deeply.'

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.

Question 4 of 5

Select the meaning of the word 'PRN' in the sentence: 'The nurse gave the patient a PRN medication.'

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.

Question 5 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.
