Answers with 100% Correct Answers | Latest Version
Define Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) - (ANSWER)occurs after birth and includes injuries caused by external
physical forces and those caused by internal insult. (Umbrella definition)
Three Types of Acquired Brain Injury - (ANSWER)1. Traumatic Impact 2. Traumatic Inertial 3. Non-
traumatic
Define Traumatic Impact and its Primary Injury Mechanism - (ANSWER)Is a contact injury which is when
the head is struck by/against an object and it can be closed (Non-penetrating) or Open (Penetrating)
Define Traumatic Inertial and its Primary injury Mechanism - (ANSWER)Is a non-contact injury where the
brain moves within the skull and it can be due to rotational/angular forces and acceleration/deceleration
forces.
Define non-traumatic and its primary injury Mechanism - (ANSWER)is a injury due to an internal insult
and can its primary is sever blood flow reduction and/or hemorrhage due to clotting.
Traumatic impact closed injury causes - (ANSWER)Blast related, assaults, falls, vehicle/sports accidents.
Traumatic impact open injury causes - (ANSWER)Gunshot/stabbing, falls, and vehicle/sports accidents.
Traumatic Inertial Injury causes - (ANSWER)Falls, Automobile accidents and sports accidents.
Non-Traumatic Injury causes - (ANSWER)Stroke, Neurotoxic poisoning, hypoxia/anoxia, ischemia,
infection, tumors.
What are 3 reasons a person with a BI is at risk for developing a significant disability? - (ANSWER)1.
Awareness and understanding about brain injury remain limited 2. brain injury is frequently not
identified. 3. treatment is not always readily available.

Answers with 100% Correct Answers | Latest Version
Why is brain injury called a "silent epidemic" - (ANSWER)1. Many of the problems that follow BI
(memory/attention/thinking skills) are not always immediately apparent. 2. Many individuals living with
BI have not been accurately diagnosed or can afford access to rehabilitative treatment.
Define diffuse axonal injury (DAI) - (ANSWER)When axons are damaged due to tearing or shearing
causing widespread damage of white matter tracts in the brain. Also known as a multi-focal injury. Can
happen during a traumatic inertial injury when rotational/angular forces are applied.
Define Coup-contrecoup injury - (ANSWER)When there is an initial blow to the head due to rapid
acceleration/deceleration, (Coup) and then a second blow on the opposite side (contralateral)
(Contrecoup).
Define Closed Injury - (ANSWER)Non-penetrating injury (lacerations/contusions or intercerebral
hemorrhages) can be Focal or Diffuse.
Two Types of Injury classifications - (ANSWER)Focal: When a contusion or laceration occurs directly
beneath the point of impact. ex.) epidural/subdural hematomas
Diffused: More widespread damage due to tearing/shearing of axons.
What is a major complicating factor in open injuries? - (ANSWER)secondary infection due to
skull/meningeal breach
How to brain injuries get categorized? - (ANSWER)According to the etiology (Cause) of the primary injury
Define Secondary injury - (ANSWER)is the pathophysiological events that occur after the primary injury
and causes additional cellular damage/death.
Examples of Secondary injuries - (ANSWER)hypoxia, anemia, metabolic abnormalities, hydrocephalus,
intracranial hypertension =, hemorrhagic activity, release of excitatory amino acids, oxidative free-radical

production, release of arachidonic acid metabolites (inflammatory response) and disrupt
neurotransmitters.
According to the CDC, what is the leading cause of Brain Injury? - (ANSWER)Falls
How many people live with long-term disabilities from a TBI in the US? - (ANSWER)3.17 million
In injury related deaths in the US, TBI is a contributing factor in.... - (ANSWER)a third
Who is most likely to be hospitalized or die from TBI? - (ANSWER)75+ (32% of hospitalizations and 28%
of deaths)
Female TBI Statistics - (ANSWER)Female are two times less likely to be hospitalized and 3 times less likely
to die.
Risk factors for brain injury and indicators on how it might affects ones life? - (ANSWER)Injury severity,
age at injury, substance use, intimate partner violence, service in the military, and participation in sports.
For individuals who already have a brain injury how does the risk increase? - (ANSWER)2nd TBI 3x
greater, 3rd TBI is 8x greater
Mild TBI - (ANSWER)brief or no loss of consciousness and can present as vomiting, lethargy, dizziness,
and inability to recall what just happened.
Moderate TBI - (ANSWER)LOC up to 24 hrs, neurological signs of brain trauma, skull fracturs with
contusion/bleeding, and may have focal findings on a EEG or CT scan.
Severe TBI - (ANSWER)LOC of more than 24 hours.
