Vocabulary for HESI A2 Questions
Question 1 of 5
The bad smell made him __________.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The bad smell would likely make him gag, which is a physical reaction to an unpleasant odor. Gagging is a common response to strong or foul smells as the body seeks to expel the offending odor. Enjoy, Remember, and Attach do not accurately reflect a likely reaction to a bad smell.

Rationale: Distended means enlarged or expanded from pressure. The term 'shrunken' (Choice A) means reduced in size, 'collapsed' (Choice C) means fallen in or disintegrated, and 'constricted' (Choice D) means narrowed or tightened. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
Question 3 of 5
To STANCH a wound is to ____ it.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Restrict.' To stanch a wound means to stop or restrict the flow of blood. Choice A, 'Expand,' is incorrect as it means to make something larger. Choice C, 'Release,' is incorrect as it means to set something free. Choice D, 'Avoid,' is incorrect as it means to keep away or prevent something.
Question 4 of 5
Identify the sentence with a misplaced modifier.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because the phrase 'walking to school' seems to modify 'a dollar,' which is illogical. The intended meaning is that the child found the dollar while walking to school. In sentence B, the modifier is correctly placed at the beginning of the sentence, indicating that the child found the dollar while walking to school. Choices C and D do not contain any misplaced modifiers.
Question 5 of 5
It is required that he _____ payment immediately.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is 'make.' In this context, 'make' is the correct verb to use with 'payment.' The sentence structure requires a base form of the verb after 'required that.' Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as 'sends,' 'sent,' and 'deliver' do not match the structure needed in this sentence.
