ATI - HESI Grammar Practice Test 1

Question 1

Choose the correct word to complete the sentence: The physician asked ____ to review the patient's chart before rounds.

Accepted Answer

her and me

Answer

'Her and me' is correct because both pronouns are objects of the verb 'asked.' Use object pronouns (me, her, him) when the pronoun receives the action. You can test this by removing one pronoun: 'asked her' and 'asked me' both sound correct.

Question 2

Which sentence is grammatically correct?

Accepted Answer

The team of nurses is updating its records.

Answer

'Team' is a collective noun treated as a singular unit, so it takes the singular verb 'is' and the singular pronoun 'its.' When a collective noun acts as one unified body, use singular verbs and pronouns.

Question 3

Select the correctly punctuated sentence:

Accepted Answer

The patient's chart was missing two pages.

Answer

When showing possession for a singular noun, place the apostrophe before the 's.' Since the chart belongs to one patient, 'patient's' is correct. 'Patients'' would indicate possession belonging to multiple patients.

Question 4

Which word is spelled correctly?

Accepted Answer

accommodate

Answer

'Accommodate' is the correct spelling, containing double 'c' and double 'm.' It is one of the most commonly misspelled words in English. A memory trick: the word is large enough to accommodate two c's and two m's.

Question 5

Choose the correct verb form: Each of the nursing students ____ required to complete a clinical rotation.

Accepted Answer

is

Answer

'Each' is an indefinite pronoun that always takes a singular verb. Even when followed by a prepositional phrase like 'of the nursing students,' the verb must agree with 'each,' not 'students.' Therefore, 'is' is correct.
