NUR 330 QUIZ 2 STUDY GUIDE | NUR 330 QUIZ 2 PRACTICE QUESTIONS &
ANSWERS | NURSING REVIEW 2026/2027
active/acquired natural - ✔✔develop Ab after having the disease
active/acquired artificial - ✔✔immunizations/vaccinations
passive natural - ✔✔receive Ab via mother- transplacental/breast milk
passive artificial - ✔✔receive Ab from another person
risks of SLE - ✔✔women- hormones, decreased Vit D, viruses, environmental factors such as exposure
to chemicals
Tx for SLE - ✔✔steroids and chemo
s/s SLE - ✔✔- wt loss
- alopecia
- low grade fever
- rash
- lupus nephritis
- seizure
- arthritis/joint pain
diagnostics for SLE - ✔✔ANA- antinuclear antibody - tests blood
diagnostics for autoimmune diseases - ✔✔CRP- C-reactive protein
ESR- sed rate
* both will be increased
* checks for inflammation and whether or not you are responding to the steroids
lobes of brain - ✔✔frontal: personality
occipital: eye sight, back of brain --> brainstem (cardiac and respiratory centers)
parietal: communication
temporal: communication
brainstem - ✔✔cerebellum/cerebellar
- cardiac and respiratory center
- ataxia and movement
s/s brain injury - ✔✔1. decrease LOC
2. abnormal posturing
3. AMS
4. seizure
, 5. ICP
abnormal posturing of brain injuries - ✔✔decorticate: point toward front of the body (cerebral cortex)
decebrate: point toward back of body (cerebellum)
s/s ICP - ✔✔1. Cushing Triad: increased systolic BP, decreased HR, irregular/slow respirations.
2. severe headache
3. projectile vomiting
4. swollen optic nerves (papilledema)
sympathetic nervous system - ✔✔everything increases
- due to emotional/physical stress
- dilation of airways
- fight or flight
- increase BP, HR, and RR
- glucose release (increase in blood sugar and HCl) --> causes DM and PUD
- DRY
- epinephrine released (insomnia and tremor)
parasympathetic nervous system - ✔✔everything decreases
- pee/poop
- chill
- ACh released
- WET: SLUDGE and BBB
SLUDGE - ✔✔salvation, lacrimation, urination, diarrhea, GI upset, emesis
BBB - ✔✔bronchorrhea, bronchoconstriction, bradycardia
spinal cord injuries - ✔✔cervical: paraplegia
thoracic: tetraplegia
lumbar/saccral: weakness, incontinence, sexual dysfunction
causes of death among SCI patients - ✔✔- CLOTS!!!
- UTI
- suicide
motor effects of SCI - ✔✔paralysis
incomplete SCI - ✔✔will have either sensation or motor ability, not both
complete SCI - ✔✔cannot feel or move
spinal shock - ✔✔inflammation edematous--> transient paralysis and loss of sensation
- give steroids to reduce swelling
