HESI A2 Vocabulary Quizlet

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.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Best. In this sentence, we are looking for the superlative form of the adjective to complete the sentence. "Best" is the superlative form of the adjective "good," indicating the highest level of quality. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because "more greater" is redundant, "great" is the positive form of the adjective and not superlative, and "more greatest" is also redundant and incorrect grammatically. Therefore, "best" is the correct choice as it correctly provides the superlative form needed in the sentence.

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: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Threw. In this sentence, the verb needs to be in the past tense to match the action of tossing caps in the air. 'Threw' is the past tense form of 'throw,' which correctly conveys the action that has already taken place. Rationale: - A: Thorough means complete or detailed, which doesn't fit the context of the sentence. - B: Through is a preposition or adverb indicating movement from one side to the other, not a verb. - D: Throwing is the present participle form of 'throw,' which doesn't match the past tense context of the sentence.

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.
