NR 283: FINAL EXAM STUDY GUIDE
PRACTICE TEST /PASS GUIDE EXAM
1. what are the 4 types of cerebral death? - -ANS☑️☑️--coma, vegetative
state which they can open their eyes and have normal sleep, minimal
conscious state which they have small movements and follow commands
and locked-in syndrome which the brain is conscious and body is
paralyzed.
2. what is a seizure - -ANS☑️☑️--sudden, transient, alteration of brain
function caused by abrupt discharge of cerebral neurons
3. what is the cause of a seizure - -ANS☑️☑️--cerebral lesions or trauma,
biochemical disorders
4. what are the clinical manifestation for alterations in arousal? - -
ANS☑️☑️--level of conscious changes which is the most critical
evidence, pattern of breathing evaluates level of brain dysfunction,
pupillary changes indicate level of brain stem dysfunction, oculomotor
responses and motor response which help evaluate level of dysfunction
and damaged side
5. Brain Death is what? - -ANS☑️☑️--total brain death, body can no longer
maintain internal homeostasis, unresponsive coma, no spontaneous
respirations, no brain stem function and flat EEG
, What is cerebral death? - -ANS☑️☑️--irreversible coma and death of the
cerebral hemispheres exclusive of the brain stem and cerebellum, and the
bran can continue to maintain internal homeostasis
6. Epilepsy is what, and results from what? - -ANS☑️☑️--continuous
seizure with no known trigger, results from interaction of mutations
and environmental factors and epileptic neurons.
7. What are the phases of seizures? - -ANS☑️☑️--tonic phase which is
contraction, clonic phase which is relaxation and postictal phase which
is sleepiness or tired.
8. what are the CM of seizures? - -ANS☑️☑️--aura which is a warning sign,
prodroma which are physical symptoms, fatigue, N and headache,
increase in oxygen consumption, prolonged seizure can cause damage
9. what are the 3 types of dysphasia? - -ANS☑️☑️--expressive which is
Broca and deficit of expression, receptive which is wernicke and deficit
of comprehension, and transcortical which is echolalia.
10. what is acute confusional state or ACS - -ANS☑️☑️--transient disorder
of awareness that result from cerebral dysfunction.
11. ACS is caused by - -ANS☑️☑️--secondary to drug intoxication, metabolic
disorder, nervous system disease
12. ACS cm - -ANS☑️☑️--impaired or lost detection, inability to concentrate,
restless, irritable, and compulsive behavior
