NURS 663 Exam 2 – Questions With Solutions
Tics ✔️Ans - ◾Repeated individually recognizable, intermittent movements
or movement fragments that are almost always briefly suppressible
Chronic Motor/Vocal Tic Disorder ✔️Ans - Duration of Tics is greater than
12 months; does not include BOTH motor and verbal tics
Provisional Motor/Vocal Tic Disorder ✔️Ans - Duration of Tics is less than
12 months; Can include verbal or motor only or both types of tics
before 18 years old ✔️Ans - Maximum age a tic disorder can be diagnosed
Boys ✔️Ans - Tourette syndrome is more common in which gender?
adolescence ✔️Ans - Tourette syndrome has marked improvement in which
developmental stage?
2 motor tics + 1 verbal tic ✔️Ans - Combination of tics needed to meet
requirements for Tourette Syndrome
Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBIT) and Habit Reversal
Training (HRT) ✔️Ans - Non-pharmacological treatment for Tic Disorders
Alpha agonists (Guanfacine and Clonidine); anti- convulsants like Topiramate
sometimes used as well ✔️Ans - First-line pharmacological treatment for Tic
Disorders
atypical antipsychotics ✔️Ans - Second-line pharmacological treatment for
Tic Disorders
Stereotypic Movement Disorder ✔️Ans - Repetitive, seemingly driven
(voluntary), and apparently purposeless motor behavior (i.e. hand shaking or
waving, body rocking, head banging, self-biting, hitting own body)
Developmental Coordination Disorder ✔️Ans - a. The acquisition and
execution of coordinated motor skills is substantially below that expected
, given the individual's chronological age and opportunity for skill learning and
use
b. S/S: Clumsiness (bumping into objects), Slow and inaccurate motor skills
(catching, using scissors, handwriting, bike riding, sports etc)
Intellectual Disability (ID) (Intellectual Developmental Disorder) ✔️Ans - i.
Deficits in intellectual functions like reasoning, problem-solving, planning,
abstract thinking, judgement, academic learning, learning from experience;
Must be confirmed by **both clinical assessment AND standardized
intelligence testing**
ii. Deficits in adaptive functioning that result in failure to meet developmental
and sociocultural standards for personal independence and social
responsibility; limits function in one or more activities of daily life
(communication, social participation, independent living) and in multiple
environments (school, home, work)
S/S: Learn slowly, difficulty with attention, short term memory, planning, and
language
Global Developmental Delay ✔️Ans - If child is UNDER 5 years old with a
suspected ID and cannot do standardized testing
Unspecified Intellectual Disability ✔️Ans - If child is OVER 5 years old with a
suspected IDand cannot complete testing for reasons such as sensory
impairments, blindness, etc
1.Down Syndrome (most common)
2.Fragile X Syndrome ✔️Ans - Chromosomal Causes of ID
1.PKU
2.Tay-Sachs ✔️Ans - Metabolic Causes of ID
1.FAS (alcohol)
