UFV nursing 203 final exam prep questions
With Correct Answers
define |dura |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Dura: |The |dura |mater |is |the |outermost |and |toughest |of |
the |three |membranes |(meninges) |covering |the |brain |and |spinal |cord. |It |provides |protection |
and |support |for |the |central |nervous |system.
define |Subarachnoid |Space |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Subarachnoid |Space: |This |is |the |space |
between |the |arachnoid |membrane |and |the |pia |mater, |two |of |the |meninges |that |surround |the |
brain |and |spinal |cord. |It |contains |cerebrospinal |fluid |(CSF) |and |provides |cushioning |and |
support |to |the |central |nervous |system.
define |epidural |space |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Epidural |Space: |The |epidural |space |is |located |
between |the |dura |mater |and |the |vertebral |column. |It |contains |fat, |blood |vessels, |and |
connective |tissue. |Epidural |anesthesia |or |analgesia |involves |injecting |medications |into |this |
space |for |pain |relief |or |anesthesia.
define |dermatomes |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Dermatomes: |Dermatomes |are |specific |areas |of |
the |skin |that |are |mainly |supplied |by |a |single |spinal |nerve. |Each |spinal |nerve |in |the |body |
corresponds |to |a |particular |dermatome, |and |damage |or |irritation |to |these |nerves |can |cause |
characteristic |patterns |of |sensory |loss |or |altered |sensation |in |these |specific |areas.
define |proprioception |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Proprioception: |This |is |the |body's |ability |to |
sense |the |position, |orientation, |and |movement |of |different |body |parts. |It's |the |sense |that |
allows |us |to |know |where |our |body |is |in |space |without |having |to |look |at |it, |enabling |activities |
like |walking |without |constantly |looking |at |our |feet.
Define |solubility |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Solubility: |Solubility |refers |to |the |ability |of |a |
substance |to |dissolve |in |a |particular |solvent |(like |water, |oil, |etc.). |In |medical |contexts, |it's |often
, important |to |consider |the |solubility |of |medications |or |substances |in |order |to |determine |their |
|
effectiveness, |dosages, |and |how |they're |administered |within |the |body. |For |instance, |some |
drugs |need |to |be |soluble |in |water |to |be |injected |into |the |bloodstream, |while |others |might |
need |to |be |lipid-soluble |to |pass |through |cell |membranes.
define |epidural |analgesia/anesthesia |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Epidural |Analgesia/Anesthesia: |
This |is |a |technique |used |to |provide |pain |relief |or |anesthesia |by |injecting |medications |into |the |
epidural |space, |the |area |around |the |spinal |cord. |It |can |be |used |for |pain |management |during |
childbirth, |surgeries, |or |for |managing |chronic |pain.
define |spinal |analgesia/anesthesia |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Spinal |Analgesia/Anesthesia: |Spinal
|anesthesia, |also |known |as |subarachnoid |block, |involves |injecting |anesthesia |directly |into |the |
cerebrospinal |fluid |in |the |subarachnoid |space. |It's |commonly |used |for |surgeries |in |the |lower |
abdomen, |pelvis, |or |lower |extremities.
define |intrathecal |analgesia/anesthesia |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Intrathecal
|Analgesia/Anesthesia: |Intrathecal |anesthesia |involves |injecting |medications, |typically |
anesthetics |or |analgesics, |into |the |intrathecal |space, |which |is |the |area |surrounding |the |spinal |
cord |within |the |spinal |column. |This |method |delivers |drugs |more |directly |to |the |spinal |cord |
and |is |often |used |for |pain |relief |or |during |certain |medical |procedures.
define |subarachnoid |analgesia/anesthesia |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Subarachnoid
|Analgesia/Anesthesia: |This |term |is |often |used |interchangeably |with |spinal |anesthesia. |It |refers
|to |administering |anesthetic |or |analgesic |agents |into |the |subarachnoid |space |to |achieve |pain |
relief |or |anesthesia |for |medical |procedures.
define |sensory |level |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Sensory |Level: |This |refers |to |the |level |or |height |
at |which |anesthesia |affects |sensation |in |the |body. |For |example, |if |a |spinal |block |is |
administered, |the |sensory |level |indicates |how |high |up |the |body |the |patient |experiences |
numbness |or |loss |of |sensation.
