1. A nurse is caring for a client who who has had a stroke involving the right hemisphere. Which of the following alterations in function should the nurse expect? A. Difficulty reading Rationale: The left hemisphere is the center for language, mathematic skills and thinking analytically. A client who is unable to read following a stroke would have involvement of the left hemisphere. B. Inability to recognize his family members Rationale: The right hemisphere is involved with visual and spati...

Hypoxia CORRECT ANSWER Low Oxygen (Blood flow is *NOT* compromised) Ischemia CORRECT ANSWER Decreased Blood Flow Focal Cerebral Ischemia CORRECT ANSWER Occurs with Stroke Global Cerebral ischemia CORRECT ANSWER Occurs with Heart Attack Hypoxia results in CORRECT ANSWER *Cell swelling* due to lack of ATP and decreased action of Na+/K+ pump. *Increased lactic acid* build up. Ischemia results in CORRECT ANSWER decreased delivery of glucose waste build up clotting Circle of Will...

define stroke - WHO a clinical syndrome consisting of 'rapidly developing clinical signs of focal neurological deficit (at times global) disturbance of cerebral function, lasting more than 24 h or leading to death with no apparent cause other than that of vascular origin' define transient ischaemic attack (TIA) stroke symptoms and signs that resolve within 24 hours. In practice <1 hour AHA/ASA - a transient episode of neurologic dysfunction caused by focal brain, spinal cord, or ret...

Neuro SCNMCerebral Edema (vasogenic, cytotoxic hydrocephalic) - correct answer There are three kinds: Brain is softer, gyri are flattened, sulci are narrowed, and ventricular cavities are compressed escapes from the blood vessels into the intercellular space of the brain. Localized (abscesses, neoplasms), or generalized ase in intracellular fluid secondary to cellular injury (generalized hypoxic/ischemic insult) from the intraventricular CSF flows to the periventricular white matter durin...
