HESI A2 Vocabulary Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which word correctly completes the sentence? "Be careful not to ___ the bottle while you carry it to the table."
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Break. In this sentence, the word should be a verb that means "to cause to separate into pieces." "Break" fits this context, as it conveys the action of accidentally causing the bottle to split into pieces. The other choices, A: Brak, C: Brick, and D: Brake, do not make sense in the sentence and do not convey the intended meaning. "Brak" is a misspelling, "Brick" is a noun that does not make sense in this context, and "Brake" is a verb that means to stop or slow down, which is not appropriate here. Therefore, "Break" is the only word that fits the sentence correctly.
Question 2 of 5
Select the meaning of the word 'untoward' in the sentence: 'His untoward actions during the admission process created a problem for the nurse.'
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Unseemly. 'Untoward' in this context means inappropriate or improper, which aligns with the negative impact the person's actions had on the nurse. It suggests behavior that is unfavorable or not socially acceptable. A: Violent is incorrect as 'untoward' does not imply physical aggression. B: Casual is incorrect as 'untoward' conveys a sense of seriousness or impropriety, not nonchalant behavior. D: Capricious is incorrect as 'untoward' does not indicate erratic or impulsive behavior, but rather behavior that is unsuitable or inappropriate.
Question 3 of 5
Finishing isn't as important as answering correctly.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, "Quickly." In this sentence, "quickly" is an adverb modifying the verb "answering." Adverbs describe how an action is done, making it the appropriate choice to describe the manner in which answering should be done. Choices A, B, and C do not function as adverbs and do not properly modify the verb in the sentence. A simply functions as an adjective, B is incomplete, and C is not a correct comparative form. Therefore, "Quickly" is the correct choice for this sentence.
Question 4 of 5
He tried to remember the names of all the people who were there that night.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is "B: That" because it is used to introduce a defining relative clause, providing essential information about the people who were there that night. "Whom" is incorrect as it is used for objects, not subjects. "Which" is incorrect because it is used for things, not people. "Whose" is incorrect as it indicates possession, not the relationship between the people and the night. In this context, "that" is the most appropriate relative pronoun to refer to the people.
Question 5 of 5
Select the meaning of the word 'labile' in the sentence: 'The child developed a labile condition that worried the parents.'
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Volatile. In this context, 'labile' means prone to change rapidly or unpredictably. The child's condition is described as labile, indicating instability. 'Fevered' (A) refers to having a fever, not capturing the changing nature. 'Stomach' (C) and 'Vision' (D) are unrelated to the context of the child's condition. Hence, 'volatile' best fits the meaning of 'labile' in this sentence.
