Vocabulary for HESI A2 Questions
Question 1 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 4 of 5
If they _____ that the weather was going to be so bad, they wouldn't have gone to the beach.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: had known.' In this conditional sentence, the past perfect tense is required to indicate that knowing about the weather should have happened before going to the beach. 'Knew' (choice A and C) is in the simple past tense, which doesn't convey the sequence of events accurately. 'Could have known' (choice D) is incorrect as it implies a possibility of knowing in the past, but it doesn't fit the context of the sentence where the emphasis is on prior knowledge before going to the beach.
Question 5 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.
