Exam
1. A person with a stroke who seems unaware of their disability::
anosognosia
2. Pt presents complaining of double vision, lacks horizontal eye
movements while tracking is preserved.
What area of the brain can cause internuclear opthalmoplegia?:
Brainstem
3. Watershed stroke is described as:: Stroke between two adjacent cerebral arteries
4. Cerebrospinal fluid is produced at a rate of...: 0.3-0.4ml/min
5. A patient with locked-in syndrome most likely had an infarct in
the...: pons (pontine)
6. A lacunar infarct is indicative of an event...: in a small artery
7. The MOST important point to emphasize in a community
education program on strokes that will directly improve patient
outcome and disability in setting of a stroke?: Activate EMS
8. What is a risk factor for a spontaneous carotid dissection?: Connective
tissue disease
9. What is the MOST significant risk factor for stroke?: Hypertension
10. One fourth of all strokes occur in patients under the age of...: 7
11. Atrial fibrillation is associated with..: An increased risk of stroke and mortality
12. What is an example of exclusion criteria for tPA administration?:
Bleeding diathesis (unusual susceptibility to bleeding, usually due to hypocoagubility)
13. Findings consistent with alterations in posterior cerebral
circulation:: Ataxia and visual deficits
14. Predictor of a two-day risk for stroke following a TIA:: ABCD2
15. What sign elicited during a physical examination would be
indicative of meningeal irritation?: Kernig's Sign
16. The most sensitive and specific imaging technique for
demonstrating acute infarction is...: MR dittusion-weighted imaging
17. A patient with SAH is ordered a cerebral angiogram. This test
should...: identify the etiology of the bleed
18. What diagnosis in a patient is a contraindication in
performing a lumbar puncture?: SAH
