Vocabulary for HESI A2 Questions
Question 1 of 5

Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 of 5
The man's heart attack scared him badly and he decided to have a regular check-up.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In this context, 'badly' is the appropriate adverb to describe the intensity of the fear caused by the heart attack. 'Severely' and 'intensely' do not convey the same meaning in this sentence. 'Profoundly' refers more to depth or seriousness of an emotion, which doesn't fit the context of fear caused by a heart attack.
Question 3 of 5
The salesman recommended that he _____ his receipt for at least a month.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is 'keep.' In this context, the sentence is in the subjunctive mood, where the base form of the verb should be used after the word 'recommended.' Therefore, 'keep' is the appropriate verb choice. 'Keeps' (choice B) is incorrect as it does not align with the grammatical structure required in this sentence. Choices C and D are also incorrect as they do not match the verb form needed for the subjunctive mood.
Question 4 of 5
The physician started to perform the operation, but the patient was not yet completely _____ anesthesia.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is 'under' as it is commonly used to describe the state of being affected by anesthesia. The patient is 'under' anesthesia, not 'within,' 'with,' or 'over' it. 'Within' typically refers to being inside something, 'with' indicates being accompanied by something, and 'over' suggests being above or on top of something. Therefore, in the context of the sentence, 'under' is the most appropriate choice.
Question 5 of 5
He had already finished studying at a(n) _____ when he was called to join the army.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In the context provided, the correct answer is 'university.' The term 'university' is used to refer to higher education institutions that offer undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. While 'academy,' 'college,' and 'institute' are also types of educational institutions, 'university' is the most fitting choice here as it best aligns with the idea of completing higher education before joining the army.
