QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT ANSWERS
Anterograde (Posttraumatic) Amnesia - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Inability to
| | | | | | |
remember events after an injury. | | | |

| | | | | | | | |
impact to the head (such as falls, motor vehicle crashes); generally result from

extension of a linear fracture to the base of the skull and can be difficult to

diagnose with a radiograph (x-ray).

injured but the skin has not been broken and there is no obvious bleeding.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Concussion - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-A temporary loss or alteration of part of all
| | | | | | | | | | | |
of the brain's abilities to function without actual physical damage to the brain.
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Connecting Nerves - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Nerves in the spinal cord that
| | | | | | | | | |
connect the motor and sensory nerves.
| | | | |
,Coup-Contrecoup Injury - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Dual impacting of the brain into
| | | | | | | | | |
the skull; coup injury occurs at the point of impact; Contrecoup injury occurs on
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |

patient's eyes are looking straight ahead and the head and torso are in line.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

backboard.
Intervertebral Disk - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-The cushion that lies between two
| | | | | | | | | |
vertebrae.
Intracerebral Hematoma - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Bleeding within the brain tissue
| | | | | | | |
|(parenchyma) itself; also referred to as an intraparenchymal hematoma.
| | | | | | | |
ICP - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Intracranial Pressure.
| | | |
,Intracranial Pressure (ICP) - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-The pressure within the
| | | | | | | | |
cranial vault. |

| | | | | | | | | | |
under a person's conscious control.
| | | |
Linear Skull Fractures - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Account for 80% of skull fractures;
| | | | | | | | | | |
also referred to as nondisplaced skull fractures; commonly occur in the temporal-
| | | | | | | | | | |
parietal region of the skull; not associated with deformities to the skull.
| | | | | | | | | | |
Meninges - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Three distinct layers of tissue that surround
| | | | | | | | | |
and protect the brain and the spinal cord within the skull and the spinal canal.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Open Head Injury - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Injury to the head often caused by a
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
penetrating object in which there may be bleeding and exposed brain tissue.
| | | | | | | | | | |
Primary (Direct) Injury - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-An injury to the brain and its
| | | | | | | | | | | |
associated structures that is a direct result of impact to the head.
| | | | | | | | | | |
Raccoon Eyes - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Bruising under the eyes that may indicate
| | | | | | | | | | |
a skull fracture.
| |
Retrograde Amnesia - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-The inability to remember events
| | | | | | | | |
leading up to a head injury.
| | | | |
, Secondary (Indirect) Injury - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-The "after effects" of the
| | | | | | | | | |
primary injury; includes abnormal processes such as cerebral edema, increased
| | | | | | | | | |
intracranial pressure, cerebral ischemia and hypoxia, and infection; onset is often
| | | | | | | | | | |
delayed following the primary brain injury.
| | | | |
Subarachnoid Hemorrhage - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Bleeding into the
| | | | | | |
subarachnoid space, where the cerebrospinal fluid circulates.
| | | | | |
Subdural Hematoma - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-An accumulation of blood beneath
| | | | | | | | |
the dura mater but outside the brain.
| | | | | |
Subluxation - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-A partial or incomplete dislocation.
| | | | | | |
TBI - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Traumatic Brain Injury
| | | | |
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-A traumatic insult to the
| | | | | | | | | | |
brain capable of producing physical, intellectual, emotional, social, and vocational
| | | | | | | | |
changes.
|
Voluntary Activities - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Actions that we consciously perform,
| | | | | | | |
in which sensory input or conscious thought determines a specific muscular
| | | | | | | | | | | |
activity.

| | | | | | | |
brain resulting in some level of dysfunction or impairment. Can include
| | | | | | | | | | |
