Meningitis definition - CORRECT ANSWERS-Inflammation of the meninges, especially
the pia mater, arachnoid, and CSF-filled subarachnoid space.
Pathophysiology of bacterial meningitis - CORRECT ANSWERS-Organisms in the CSF
trigger a strong inflammatory response.
Meningitis and Capillary Permeability - CORRECT ANSWERS-Inflammation increases
permeability, raising intracranial pressure (ICP).
Meningitis and Cerebral Blood Flow - CORRECT ANSWERS-Elevated ICP from
inflammation interferes with normal cerebral blood flow.
Quick-progressing meningitis complications - CORRECT ANSWERS-Seizures, cerebral
edema, hydrocephalus, and sepsis.
Typical meningitis clinical manifestations - CORRECT ANSWERS-Fever, severe
headache, neck stiffness, and photophobia.
Definitive diagnosis for meningitis - CORRECT ANSWERS-Lumbar puncture.
Bacterial CSF pattern (WBCs) - CORRECT ANSWERS-Significantly increased white
blood cell count.
+1 - CORRECT ANSWERS-
Bacterial CSF pattern (Protein) - CORRECT ANSWERS-Elevated protein levels.
+1 - CORRECT ANSWERS-
Bacterial CSF pattern (Glucose) - CORRECT ANSWERS-Decreased glucose levels.
+1 - CORRECT ANSWERS-
, Reason for low glucose in bacterial meningitis - CORRECT ANSWERS-Bacteria and
inflammatory cells consume it, and transport is disrupted.
Primary functions of CSF - CORRECT ANSWERS-Cushions the brain/cord, distributes
nutrients, and removes waste.
Normal CSF appearance - CORRECT ANSWERS-Clear and colorless.
+1 - CORRECT ANSWERS-
Normal CSF contents - CORRECT ANSWERS-Small amount of protein, very few cells,
and some glucose.
+1 - CORRECT ANSWERS-
Sites for CSF circulation and drainage - CORRECT ANSWERS-The ventricles and
subarachnoid space.
Bacterial CSF appearance - CORRECT ANSWERS-Cloudy or turbid.
Clinical sign of a CSF leak after head trauma - CORRECT ANSWERS-Clear drainage
from one nostril or ear.
CN I (Olfactory) function - CORRECT ANSWERS-Smell.
CN II (Optic) function - CORRECT ANSWERS-Vision.
CN III (Oculomotor) function - CORRECT ANSWERS-Most eye movements, eyelid
elevation, and pupil constriction.

inward.

CN VI (Abducens) function - CORRECT ANSWERS-Lateral eye movement.
CN VII (Facial) function - CORRECT ANSWERS-Facial expression, anterior taste,
tears, and saliva.
CN VIII (Vestibulocochlear) function - CORRECT ANSWERS-Hearing and balance.
CN IX (Glossopharyngeal) function - CORRECT ANSWERS-Posterior taste,
swallowing, and gag reflex.
