INPA 4 Stroke UPDATED ACTUAL Questions and CORRECT Answers
1. What is CVA? cerebrovascular accident (stroke)
a condition that develops when blood rich oxygen cannot reach brain cells due to
a blockage or bleeding causing brain cells to die
2. What is the 3 ischemic, hemmorhagic, transient ischemic attack
types of stroke
3. Pathophysiology (most common)
of Ischemic Due to a blood clot within a blood vessel or stenosis of an artery that feeds the
Stroke brain tissue
Limits the blood that can reach the brain cells
Can happen due to
Embolism
Clot left part of the body and travels to brain
Thrombosis
Clot forms within artery wall within neck or brain
Seen in pt with hyperlipidemia/atherosclerosis
4. pathophysiology occurs when there is bleeding in the brain due to a break in blood vessel
of hemorrhagic
stroke no blood will perfuse to the brain cells
leads to excessive swelling from leakage of bloods in the brain
Causes:
Rupture of a brain aneurysm
Uncontrolled hypertension
Aging blood vessels
5. pathophysiology
of TIA
, Aka mini stroke
s&s of stroke occur but only last a few min/hours and resolves
Warning signs of an impending stroke
6. What happens Left side weakness: Hemiplegia
during right Confused on date time place
sided brain dam- Cannot recognize faces or persons name
age? Cant see things on left side
Left side neglect(unilateral neglect)
Impulsive behaviour
Short attention span
7. What happens Right sided hemiplegia
during left sided Aphasia (trouble formulating words)
brain damage? Depression/anger/frustration
Trouble understanding written text
Can't write (agraphia)
Impaired math skills
Issues seeing on the right side
8. Risk Factors for "Strokes Happen"
stroke?
Smoking
Thinners (blood)
Rhythm changes (a-fib/flutter)
Oral Contraceptive
Kin (family history)
Excessive weight
Senior citizens
Hypertension
Atherosclerosis
