EXAM 2025 QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS
what are the clinical manifestation for alterations in arousal? -
....ANSWER ...-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
Brain Death is what? - ....ANSWER ...-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? - ....ANSWER ...-irreversible coma and death of the

contraction, clonic phase which is relaxation and postictal phase which is
sleepiness or tired.
what are the CM of seizures? - ....ANSWER ...-aura which is a warning sign,
prodroma which are physical symptoms, fatigue, N and headache, increase in
oxygen consumption, prolonged seizure can cause damage
what are the 3 types of dysphasia? - ....ANSWER ...-expressive which is
Broca and deficit of expression, receptive which is wernicke and deficit of
comprehension, and transcortical which is echolalia.
