rhythmic limb movements, they may be experiencing what type of seizure? A. Myoclonic b.
Atonic c. Odd absence d. Tonic-clonic
d. Tonic-clonic
(tonic: muscle stiffening and clonic: rhythmic lib jerking)
(with myoclonic there may be rhythmic muscle contractions however the pt rarely loses
awareness)
(for atonic there's loss of muscle tone- no jerking movements)
(for peculiar absence the pt has a staring spell with loss of cognizance and jerking actions of the
lips or ordinary eye blinking)
A pt experiencing a regular absence seizure might have which s/sx? A. Jerking movements of
the legs b. Suddenly falling to the floor c. Daydreaming spell d. Stiff muscle extension
c. Daydreaming spell (a is clonic, b is atonic, and d is tonic)
Which of those isn't always a generalized seizure? A. Myoclonic b. Odd absence c. Complicated
partial d. Tonic-clonic
c. Complex partial
, Which kind of seizure would be anticipated to remaining for 1-3 mins? A. Tonic clonic b.
Myoclonic c. Atonic d. Abnormal absence
a. Tonic clonic (b is for a few seconds, c is < 10 seconds, and d is 10-30 seconds)
Which phase of a seizure is a patient extremely sore and tired? A. Prodromal b. Aural c. Ictal d.
Post-ictal

Loosen tight clothes b. Move the client to a closer room c. Place an oral airway d. Turn pt on
their side e. Call for help using the intercom system

temperate climate)
Which manifestations are most important to ask a patient with Multiple Sclerosis? A.
Coordination issues b. Hearing changes c. Decreased libido d. Tingling of fingertips
a. Coordination issues (all of these are sx of MS, however coordination issues puts the patients
at risk for falls- which puts their safety as priority)
What would you expect to see in a pt with multiple sclerosis who has a CSF analysis done? A.
Increased IgM b. Increased T lymphocytes c. Decreased glucose d. Increased protein
b. Increased T lymphocytes (also occurs wit increased IgG) (c and d indicate bacterial
meningitis)
