HESI A2 Vocabulary Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
What is the meaning of 'carnivore'?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'meat-eating.' The term 'carnivore' specifically refers to an animal that primarily consumes meat. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because 'hungry' means feeling the need to eat, 'infected' refers to being affected by a disease or pathogen, and 'demented' means to be mentally disturbed.
Question 2 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 3 of 5
Select the meaning of the word 'initial' in the sentence: 'The doctor made an initial examination of the patient.'
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In this context, 'initial' means 'first,' referring to the first examination conducted by the doctor. The initial examination is the first assessment or evaluation performed on the patient. Therefore, 'first' is the correct meaning in this sentence. 'Complete' (choice A) is incorrect as initial does not imply completeness, 'incomplete' (choice C) is incorrect as initial does not mean unfinished, and 'discharge' (choice D) is unrelated to the concept of an initial examination.
Question 4 of 5
Which word is not spelled correctly in the context of this sentence? 'The nurse went from room to room looking for the missing patient.'
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'B' because 'form' is misspelled, it should be 'from'. In the given sentence, 'form' is incorrect as it should be 'from' to indicate movement from one place to another. The other choices ('patient,' 'nurse,' 'missing') are spelled correctly and are relevant in the context of the sentence.
Question 5 of 5
Select the meaning of the word 'incidence' in the sentence: 'The incidence of smoking has decreased.'
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In this context, 'incidence' refers to the rate or frequency at which something happens, specifically the rate of occurrence of smoking. Therefore, 'Occurrence' is the correct answer. Choice A, 'Prestige,' is incorrect as it refers to reputation or esteem. Choice C, 'Glamour,' is also incorrect as it means attractiveness or charm. Choice D, 'Influence,' is not the best fit as it relates more to the capacity to have an effect on someone or something.
