NRSG 2500 Test 6 (Units 11, 12, & 13)
Questions And 100% Accurate Answers.
Neurological review - Answer -CNS-brain and spinal cord (central nervous system)

-PNS-includes cranial and spinal nerves; autonomic and somatic nervous systems (peripheral nervous
system)

-basic functional unit-neuron; dendrites, cell body, axon

*neurotransmitters used to comm between neurons



Autonomic Nervous System - Answer -sympathetic-"fight or flight" responses; main nt is norepi

-parasympathetic-"rest and digest"; controls mostly visceral functions; main nt is acetylcholine (ACh)



Assessing neurological function - Answer -cerebral function-mental status, intellectual-cognition
function, thought content, emotion status, language ability, impact on lifestyle, LOC, perception, motor,
and speech

-cranial nerves-sensory, motor, or mixed nerves

-motor system-posture, gait, muscle tone and strength, coordination and balance

-sensory system-tactile sensation, superficial pain, vibration and position sense

-reflexes-gag, corneal plantar (Babinski), and deep tendon



Assessment of altered mental status - Answer -LOC is the most important indicator of the pts condition

-glasgow coma score (GCS) 3-15

-pupils-round and reactive

-motor-symmetry vs asymmetry

-sensation-numbness, tingling, painful stimuli

-speech-aphasia (receptive, expressive, global), slurred

-voluntary vs involuntary reflexes

,Cranial Nerves - Answer -Oh Oh Oh To Touch And Feel Virgin Girls Vaginas Ah Heaven

-Some Say Marry Money, But My Brother Says Big Brains Matter More



Olfactory Nerve I - Answer -sensory

-sense of smell



Optic Nerve II - Answer -sensory

-visual acuity and fields



Occulomotor Nerve III - Answer -motor

-muscles that move the eye and lid, pupillary constriction, lens accomodation



Trochlear Nerve IV - Answer -motor

-muscles that move the eye



Trigeminal Nerve V - Answer -both/mixed

-facial sensation, corneal reflex, mastication



Abducens Nerve VI - Answer -motor

-muscles that move the eye



Facial Nerve VII - Answer -both/mixed

-facial expression and muscle movement, salivation, tearing, taste



Vestibulocochlear Nerve VIII - Answer -sensory

-hearing/equilibrium



Glossopharyngeal Nerve IX - Answer -both/mixed

-taste, swallowing

, Vagus Nerve X - Answer -both/mixed

-muscles of pharynx, larynx, sensation in external ear; pharynx, larynx, thoracic, and abdominal viscera;
parasympathetic innervations of thoracic and abdominal organs



(Spinal) Accessory Nerve XI - Answer -motor

-sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles



Hypoglossal Nerve XII - Answer -motor

-movement of the tongue



LOC - Answer -LOC is a continuum from normal alertness and full cognition (consciousness) to coma
(pg. 693, table 11-3)

-altered LOC is not the disorder but the result of a pathology

-coma-unconsciousness, unarousable, unresponsiveness

-akinetic mutism-unresponsiveness to the envt, makes no movement or sound, but sometimes opens
eyes

-persistent vegetative state (irreversible coma)-devoid of cognitive function but has sleep-wake cycles,
swallow, cough, and eye movement

-locked in syndrome-alert and aware, but inability to move or respond except for eye movements due to
a lesion affecting the pons, comm by blinking

-brain death-cessation and irreversibility of all brain functions, including brainstem



Monro-Kellie Hypothesis - Answer -space is limited inside the skull

*an increase in one requires a decrease in another, without compensation an elevated ICP may result

*normal circumstances-coughing, sneeze, and straining increase ICP



Intracranial autoregulation - Answer -the compensatory mechanism that allows the brain's ability to
change the diameter of the blood vessels to maintain a constant cerebral blood flow during alterations in
systemic bp

-this mechanism can be impaired in pts who are experiencing a pathological and sustained increased in
ICP
