HESI A2 Practice Vocabulary - Nurselytic

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct choice is C. Cloth because in the sentence, the new mother expressed a preference for using cloth diapers over disposables. 'Cloth' refers to a type of diaper material, and it makes sense in the context of the sentence.
Choice A, 'Close,' is incorrect as it does not relate to the type of diapers being discussed.
Choice B, 'Clothing,' is incorrect as it refers to garments worn on the body, not diapers.
Choice D, 'Clothes,' is also incorrect as it is used for general garments, not specific to diapers.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The term 'inflamed' means being red, swollen, and often tender. It is a common response of the body to injury or infection, involving increased blood flow and immune cell activity.
Choice A is incorrect because 'inflamed' does not describe a state of being healthy and normal.
Choice C is incorrect as it only mentions discoloration without the characteristic swelling.
Choice D is incorrect as 'inflamed' does not imply being hard and stiff.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'A characteristic or constant factor.' In the context of systems or experiments, a parameter is a fixed element that influences the behavior or outcome. It is not a variable like in choice A, which can change.
Choice C, 'A measurable limit,' is incorrect as a parameter is not necessarily a physical limit but a defining factor.
Choice D, 'A calculated risk,' is unrelated to the definition of a parameter.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct definition of 'depress' is to press downward. This term is commonly used to describe pushing something downward or making something lower in position or level.
Choice A, '
To push forward,' is incorrect as 'depress' does not involve moving something forward.
Choice C, '
To remove,' is incorrect as 'depress' does not entail taking something away.
Choice D, '
To elevate,' is incorrect as it is the opposite of what 'depress' means.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'get' because it appropriately indicates a future action in the sentence. In English, when 'when' is used in future time clauses, the following verb should be in the present simple tense to indicate a future event, making 'get' the correct choice.

Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. 'Will get' is redundant after 'when' in this context, 'return' is not the appropriate tense for a future action, and 'came' is in the past tense, which is not suitable for a future event.
