NURS 400 Exam 3 Questions with Complete SolutionsWhat is hydrocephalus? Correct Answer-Hydrocephalus is the excessive
accumulation of CSF that increases intracranial pressure.
-Blockage in flow of CSF through ventricles of brain or when cannot be
absorbed by arachnoid villi.
What types of substances are able to directly cross the blood-brain
barrier? Correct Answer-Lipophilic substances are able to cross the
blood-brain barrier directly and enter the brain.
*Water crosses membrane by simple diffusion. Most nutrients cross
blood brain barrier by facilitated diffusion.
Cerebral Autoregulation Correct Answer-Autoregulatory mechanisms
fail: Loss of match between oxygen supply and demand of tissues.
Intracranial pressure: Pressure exerted by brain tissue, blood, and
cerebrospinal fluid (the contents of the cranium).
Monro-Kellie hypothesis Correct Answer-If the volume of one
component of intracranial pressure increases slightly, it is offset by
reduction in volume of the other two.
What are the risk factors for TIA/ stroke? Correct Answer-
Nonmodifiable risk factors:
-Age, family history, prior TIA/stroke, race, sex, sickle cell disease.
Modifiable risk factors:
,-CV disease, diabetes, excess weight, hypertension, hyperlipidemia,
smoking, heavy drinking, physical inactivity, poor nutrition, birth
control.

- Hypercoagulable states- Medication
What are the treatment/ Interventions for hemorrhagic stroke? Correct
Answer-- Priority of care depends on adequate ventilation and
management of blood pressure.
Reverse Medications

, - Glucose is monitored and normoglycemia maintained.
- Surgical treatment.
Cerebral Edema: Correct Answer-Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI):
Clinical syndrome of focal neurological deficits, cognitive deficits, or

-Most important cause of morbidity and mortality in survivors
