Exam 1 NPRO 1100 Questions and Correct
Answers/ Latest Update / Already Graded
Types of CVA/Stroke
Ans: ischemic, hemorrhagic, transient ischemic attack (TIA)
Ischemic Stroke
Ans: Most common type of stroke in older people, occurs when
the flow of blood to the brain is blocked by the narrowing or
blockage of a carotid artery.
Ischemic Stroke symptoms
Ans: -Loss of strength/sensation on one side of body
-Problems with speech and language
-Changes in vision and balance
Hemorrhagic stroke
Ans: Type of CVA that occurs when a weakened blood vessel,
such as an aneurysm, ruptures and bleeds into the surrounding
tissue of the brain.

Ans: 1. Intracerebral (10%): results from rupture of small
arterioles
2. Subarachnoid (3%): rupture of arterial aneurysms
(hemorrhage into subarachnoid space)
Intracerebral hemorrhage
Ans: bleeding into the brain as a result of a ruptured blood
vessel within the brain
subarachnoid hemorrhage
Ans: Bleeding into the subarachnoid space, where the
cerebrospinal fluid circulates.
Hemorrhagic stroke symptoms
Ans: Impaired LOC, headache, nausea/vomiting, mobility,
speech patterns, one sided weakness, blood pressure,
respiratory status, pulse rate
Intracranial (Cerebral) Aneurysm
Ans: Dilation of the walls of a cerebral artery that develops as a
result of weakness in the arterial wall

arteriovenous malformation
Ans: one of the causes of hemorrhagic stroke; abnormal
connection between the arteries and veins in the brain is usually
congenital and can rupture suddenly at any age
intracranial pressure
Ans: the amount of pressure inside the skull
Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA)
Ans: brief episode of loss of blood flow to the brain, usually
caused by a partial occlusion that results in temporary
neurologic deficit (impairment); often precedes a CVA
Types of ischemic stroke
Ans: -Large artery thrombosis
-Small penetrating artery thrombosis
-Cardiogenic embolism
-Cryptogenic
-Others
Large artery thrombosis
