CCRN ADULT LEAKED EXAM 2025 VERIFIED
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS.
Verbal Response (GCS) - correct answer>>5 - oriented
4 - confused
3 - inappropriate words
2 - incomprehensible sounds
1 - none
Motor response (GCS) - correct answer>>6 Obeys
5 Localizes
4 Withdraws
3 Flexion
2 Extension
1 None
Intracranial Pressure (ICP) - correct answer>>0- 15 = normal The pressure
within the cranial vault.
Monroe-Kellie Doctrine - correct answer>>when one content in the skull
increases, another must decrease to compensate and maintain normal ICP
the three contents -- CSF, blood, tissue
Signs of increased ICP - correct answer>>decreased LOC, disorientation,
combativeness, pupil changes (not PERRL), respiratory changes (rate of
pattern), motor changes (decreased motor response, abnormal posturing),
increased temperature, headache, Nausea/vomiting, cardiac changes- HR,
BP, papilledema (chronically increased ICP)
,Cushing's triad - correct answer>>three classic signs—bradycardia,
hypertension/widening pulse pressure, and bradypnea—seen with pressure
on the medulla as a result of brain stem herniation
CPP - correct answer>>MAP-ICP
normal 60 - 80
epidural hematoma - correct answer>>a hematoma located on top of the
dura
key sign loss of conciousness regain lucidity, followed by repeat LOC
subdural hematoma - correct answer>>a hematoma located beneath the
dura
acute, subacute or chronic
vasospasm subarachnoid hemorrhage - correct answer>>common after 3 -
14 days
give ca channel blocker to treat
triple h therapy --> hypervolume, hemodiluce, hypertension
basal ganglia - correct answer>>structures in the forebrain that help to
control movement
fine motor control
frontal lobe - correct answer>>associated with reasoning, planning, parts of
speech, movement, emotions, and problem solving
occipital lobe - correct answer>>A region of the cerebral cortex that
processes visual information
temporal lobe - correct answer>>A region of the cerebral cortex responsible
, for hearing and language.
Wernicke's area - correct answer>>controls language reception - a brain
area involved in language comprehension and expression; usually in the left
temporal lobe
parietal lobe - correct answer>>A region of the cerebral cortex whose
functions include processing information about touch.
cerebellum - correct answer>>Balance and coordination
brain stem consists of - correct answer>>midbrain, pons, medulla oblongata
midbrain - correct answer>>A small part of the brain above the pons that
integrates sensory information and relays it upward. Reticulating activating
system -- controls sleep/wake cycle
pons - correct answer>>the part of the brainstem that links the medulla
oblongata and the thalamus
medulla oblongata - correct answer>>Part of the brainstem that controls
vital life-sustaining functions such as heartbeat, breathing, blood pressure,
and digestion.
blood-brain barrier - correct answer>>Blood vessels (capillaries) that
selectively let certain substances enter the brain tissue and keep other
substances out
permeable to H20 co2 o2 and lipid soluble substances restricts
anitboitoics, heavy metals. toxins
above _____ spinal cord injury need vent - correct answer>>C4
