NR507 FINAL EXAM WITH
CORRECT ANSWERS 2025
GRADED A+
Generalized tonic-clonic seizures: correct answers >>
-wide-spread and uncontrolled neuron activity in the
entire cerebral cortex
-occur in 10% of patients who have epilepsy
-excessive neuronal discharge in the motor nerves
through the brain.
Generalized tonic seizures: correct answers >> this
seizure is characterized by unconsciousness and muscle
rigidity.
Post-ictal phase correct answers >> (lasts one to two
hours): characterized by confusion, unresponsiveness and
muscle flaccidity.
-Following the post-ictal state, there will be a return to
normal state of consciousness
GRADED A+
,Clonic phase correct answers >> (lasts one minute):
continuous discharge of neurons gets interrupted.
-characterized by small durations of relaxation, occur
because of inhibitory mechanisms of the brain to try to
control the wide-spread neuronal activity
-patient will exhibit spasms and jerking, perceived as
violent shaking of muscles.
Generalized clonic seizures: correct answers >> this
seizure is characterized by muscle spasms.
Generalized absence seizure: correct answers >> -
common in children
-caused by a genetic abnormality
-characterized by sudden and brief loss of consciousness
without muscle tone
-last for only a few seconds
-no associated post-ictal confusion.
Wide variety of options available, is based on needs of
the patient correct answers >> Anticonvulsants
Removes the cause of the seizure correct answers >>
Surgery
GRADED A+
,Ketogenic diet correct answers >> Produces energy
other than glucose to be used by the brain
Nerve stimulation correct answers >> Controls the
seizure by influencing neurotransmitter release
An individual having a focal seizure without dyscognitive
features will _______ correct answers >> have no
impairment of consciousness
Febrile seizures most often ___________ medication as
they ___________. correct answers >> do not need,
resolve on their own.
Tonic-clonic phase results in: correct answers >> 1.
The muscles of the body become contracted. without any
relaxation.
2. Loss of consciousness.
3. Ictal cry. This is a typical sound produced by the tonic
contractions of the laryngeal muscles and muscles of
expiration.
4. Respiratory impairment that results in cyanosis.
5. Tonic contraction of the jaw muscles that can cause
tongue biting.
6. Increased sympathetic activity. This will cause
increased heart rate and blood pressure
GRADED A+
, Tonic-clonic phase lasts __________ correct answers >>
10-20 seconds
Tonic-clonic phase is due to __________________ correct
answers >> the excessive discharge of neurons in the
motor nerves
Underlying cause of BPH correct answers >> 5delta-
reductace activity increases with age
-increases dihydrotestosterone levels
-normal prostate cells respond to the increase in
dihydrotestosterone levels by living longer and
multiplying
acute kidney injury/acute renal failure correct answers
>> sudden loss of kidney function
Reversible
S/S:
-oliguria (<30mL/hr)
-increased BUN & creatinine
-fluid & electrolyte abnormalities
Prerenal correct answers >> Most common type of
Acute Renal Failure
