Questions and CORRECT Answers
A patient having experienced a L MCA ischemic stroke will most likely present with:
A. Sparing of tongue motor control
B. Full tongue motor control
C. Pushers syndrome towards weak L side
D. Sparing of the SCM - CORRECT ANSWER -D
Sparing = pt. will have some motor control
A & B = Tongue is unilateral innervation, so it will not be spared and they will not have full
motor control.
C = the R side will be weak because it was a L MCA
D = SCM is bilaterally innervated, so one side will be ok.
Which of the following areas is associated with receptive aphasia?
A. Broca's area in R hemisphere
B. Broca's area in L hemisphere
C. Wernicke's area in R hemisphere
D. Wernicke's area in L hemisphere - CORRECT ANSWER -D
Wernicke's & Broca's are only in L hemisphere
A patient having experienced a L MCA ischemic stroke with most deficits in the frontal lobe is
most likely to present with:
A. pushers syndrome
, B. apraxia
C. apraxis
D. expressive aphasia - CORRECT ANSWER -C
Apraxia: difficulty with sequencing mm's to produce speech
Apraxis: difficulty performing a skilled movement
A patient having experienced a L MCA ischemic stroke with most deficits in the basal ganglia is
most likely to present with:
A. A. pushers syndrome
B. apraxia
C. apraxis
D. receptive aphasia - CORRECT ANSWER -B
Apraxia: difficulty with sequencing mm's to produce speech
Apraxis: difficulty performing a skilled movement
Kidney function is assessed with:
A. dialysis
