1. The nurse is assessing a patient suffering a head injury as a result of an altercation with
two other individuals. The patient has difficulty accurately reporting the events of the
altercation and appears very emotional during the assessment. The nurse suspects which
part of the brain received the greatest amount of injury?
A) Cerebrum
B) Cerebellum
C) Medulla
D) Amygdala
Ans: A
Feedback:
The frontal lobes of the cerebrum control the organization of thought, body movement,
memories, emotions, and moral behavior. The cerebellum is located below the cerebrum
and is the center for coordination of movements and postural adjustments. The medulla,
located at the top of the spinal cord, contains vital centers for respiration and
cardiovascular functions. The hippocampus and amygdala are involved in emotional
arousal and memory.
2. An abnormality of which of the following structures of the cerebrum would be
associated with schizophrenia?
A) Parietal lobes
B) Frontal lobe
C) Occipital lobe
D) Temporal lobes
Ans: B
Feedback:
Abnormalities in the frontal lobes are associated with schizophrenia, attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and dementia. The parietal lobes interpret sensations of
taste and touch and assist in spatial orientation. The temporal lobes are centers for the
senses of smell and hearing and for memory and emotional expression. The occipital
lobe assists in coordinating language generation and visual interpretation, such as depth
perception.
