NR 325-Exam 2
"c"; stiff with bent arms, clenched fists, legs held out straight, arms bent in toward the body,
wrists and fingers are bent and held on the chest. - ANS-Decorticate
"e"; arms and legs held straight out, toes pointed downward, head and neck being arched
backward, muscles tightened and held rigidly. - ANS-Decerebrate
5-15 mm Hg, if it's greater than 20 it's elevated. - ANS-Normal intracranial pressurev (ICP)
60-100 mm Hg - ANS-Normal Cerebral Perfusion pressure (CPP)
Acute inflammation of the brain and spinal coed; caused by a virus and can be FATAL
CM: fever, headache, seizures, rigidity, altered LOC, agitation, lethargy, photosensitivity, N/V -
ANS-Encephalitis
Acute inflammation of the pancreas
CM: abdominal tenderness, decreased/absent bowel sounds, severe LUQ or mid epigastric
abdominal pain/pain radiates to the back, crackles, aggravated when eating and not relieved by
vomiting, flushing, cyanosis/dyspnea, N/V, low grade fever, hypotension, jaundice, abdominal
skin discoloration (grey turners spots, cullen's sign)
Keep patient NPO to minimize pain. - ANS-Acute pancreatitis
Acute peripheral facial paralysis central or peripheral in origin; inflammation of the CN VII on
one side of the face in absence of another disease; accompanied by herpes vesicles in/around
the ears.
CM: drooping of the mouth, inability to close eye, loss of extensive tearing due to lacrimal
muscle weakness.
Surgery may be needed - ANS-Bell's palsy
Anticoagulants, aspirin, NSAIDS, acetaminophen (tylenol) - ANS-Hepatotoxic drugs
Autoimmune disease, muscle weakness/paralysis, airway is a priority and so is safety.
TX: respiratory support, nutritional support. (steroids, cholinesterase inhibitor drugs, eye
protection. - ANS-Myasthenia Gravis
