1. A nurse is caring for a client who has a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). Which of the following manifestations should the nurse immediately report to the provider? A. A change in the Glasgow Coma Scale score from 13 to 11 Rationale: In a client who has mild TBI, a decrease of 2 points on the Glasgow Coma Scale indicates a decrease in level of consciousness and that the client is risk of a deteriorating neurologic status. Therefore, this finding is the priority to report to the provider. ...

Stroke and TBI from internship 1 Exam Questions and Answers Intraparenchymal hemorrhage (IPH) - Answer-An intraparenchymal hemorrhage is a blood clot that develops in the brain. Intraparenchymal hemorrhage is one form of intracerebral bleeding in which there is bleeding within brain parenchyma. The other form is intraventricular hemorrhage.

Cerebral Lobes Comprise the surface of each hemisphere of the cerebrum Cerebellum "Little brain" Two hemispheres, connected by vermis; each hemisphere has three lobes. Functions include: Coordinated movement, modulation of all body movements, balance and equilibrium, some motor learning, spatial organization, timing and fluidity of speech
