HESI A2 Vocabulary Quizlet

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: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: offspring. Progeny means descendants or offspring. In the sentence, 'Progeny is a term used to describe a person's ____,' the term 'progeny' refers to a person's offspring. The word 'creditors' (choice A) refers to individuals or entities to whom money is owed, not related to progeny. 'Hereditary disease' (choice C) refers to a genetic condition passed down through generations, not synonymous with progeny. 'Health status' (choice D) refers to an individual's overall health condition, unrelated to progeny. Hence, choice B is the correct answer.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: ingest. Ingest means to take into the body, usually by swallowing. "Congest" means to block or fill up, not related to intake. "Collect" means to gather or accumulate, not specifically related to taking into the body. "Suppress" means to restrain or prevent, not related to intake. Therefore, B is the correct answer as it directly relates to the action of taking something into the body.

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: 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.
