HESI A2 Vocabulary Quizlet Questions

Question 1 of 5

Select the word that means 'something added to resolve a deficiency or obtain completion.'

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'supplement.' A supplement is something added to resolve a deficiency or obtain completion. Choice B, 'complement,' means something that completes or goes well with something. Choice C, 'detriment,' refers to something that causes harm or damage. Choice D, 'acumen,' means the ability to make good judgments and quick decisions.

Question 2 of 5

What is the CORRECT CONTRACTION for 'They are'?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct contraction for 'They are' is 'They're.' 'Their' is a possessive pronoun indicating ownership, not a contraction. 'The're' is not a valid contraction. 'No contraction used' is incorrect as there is a contraction for 'They are,' which is 'They're.'

Question 3 of 5

Which part of the sentence contains a typographical error?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. The phrase 'Went form' contains a typographical error. It should be 'went from' to indicate the change in condition correctly. Choice A 'To a,' choice B 'Very strong,' and choice C 'Being' are grammatically correct and do not contain any typographical errors in the given sentence.

Question 4 of 5

Select the meaning of the word 'PRN' in the sentence: 'The nurse gave the patient a PRN medication.'

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: 'PRN' is a medical abbreviation that stands for 'pro re nata,' meaning 'as needed.' In this context, the medication is given to reduce symptoms as they arise. Choice A, 'Pinpoint,' does not align with the meaning of 'PRN.' Choices B and C, 'Relocate' and 'Eradicate,' are unrelated to the concept of 'as needed' medications.

Question 5 of 5

What is the meaning of 'belligerent'?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C, 'pugnacious.' 'Belligerent' means aggressive or combative, which aligns with the definition of 'pugnacious.' Choice A, 'retired,' is incorrect as it does not relate to the aggressive or combative nature of 'belligerent.' Choice B, 'sardonic,' means grimly mocking or cynical, which is not synonymous with 'belligerent.' Choice D, 'acclimated,' means to become accustomed to a new climate or environment, which is unrelated to the meaning of 'belligerent.'
