HESI A2 VOCABULARY PRACTICE TEST & ANSWERS HESI A2 VOCABULARY PRACTICE TEST & ANSWERS 1. If you want to have burgers for dinner tomorrow night, you’ll have to remind me to take the meat patties out of the freezer to . a. corrode b. divide c. thaw d. eat “Corrode” means to disintegrate, which doesn’t make sense in this context. We know that the meat has already been divided into patties, so choice B is incorrect. While the patties will become burgers that will be eaten later, this statement is not discussing that; the patties are still frozen, uncooked, and inedible at this stage. Therefore, choice C is the correct answer. 2. A rash in the shape of a bulls-eye on the skin is a sign for Lyme disease. If you see one, you should go to the doctor for a blood test to confirm. a. shabby b. fair c. rigorous d. reliable “Shabby” describes something that is tattered, which does not apply in this context. “Fair” can be used as a descriptor in a number of ways, but none of them would describe a bulls-eye rash. While “rigorous” could indicate something severe, choice D is the best fit for this sentence based upon the information we have. 3. Osteogenesis Imperfecta is a bone disorder that causes fragile, easily broken bones; it is more commonly known as “ bone disease.” a. rigorous b. divided c. brittle d. artificial HESI A2 VOCABULARY PRACTICE TEST &lOMoAR cPSD|ANSWERS “Rigorous” would not be used to describe fragile bones. “Divided” could seem correct, but brittle is a closer synonym for fragile. The statement doesn’t mention bone replacement, so we can assume that artificial bones aren’t being discussed here. 4. Knee replacement surgery involves removing the knee bone and replacing it with an joint. a. rigorous b. divided c. brittle d. artificial A brittle joint would be counterproductive and a divided joint doesn’t make sense. Although a rigorous joint might be advantageous, the student should be able to tell from the context of a knee replacement that we are talking about an artificial joint.
