HESI A2
Vocabulary for HESI A2 Questions
Question 1 of 5
Another word for CONSISTENCY is?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Consistency refers to the quality of staying the same in behavior or level. Thickness is a synonym for consistency as it implies a state of being dense, compact, or solid throughout, which aligns with the idea of staying the same. Conversely, appearance, volatility, and color do not directly relate to the concept of consistency. 'Appearance' refers to how something looks, 'volatility' refers to how easily something changes, and 'color' refers to the hue or shade of something, none of which capture the essence of consistency.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following should never be performed by a healthcare professional?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Euthanasia, which involves deliberately ending a person's life to relieve suffering, is a controversial and illegal practice in many countries. Healthcare professionals should not be involved in performing euthanasia as it goes against medical ethics and principles of preserving life and providing care. Assistance in hastening death is not within the scope of healthcare professionals' responsibilities. Assessments, such as physical examinations or patient evaluations, are crucial for diagnosing and treating patients. Palliative care focuses on improving the quality of life for individuals with serious illnesses and should be provided by healthcare professionals. However, euthanasia is not an acceptable practice for healthcare professionals due to ethical considerations and legal restrictions.
Question 3 of 5
The doctor said he wanted to try other things before attempting an __________ procedure.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The term 'invasive' refers to a procedure that involves entering the body, usually with a medical instrument or device. In the context provided, the doctor wants to try other non-invasive or less invasive options before resorting to an invasive procedure. 'Experimental' means untested or not yet proven to be effective, which aligns with the idea of exploring alternative methods before considering a more invasive approach. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not relate to the context of trying alternative procedures that are different from invasive ones.
