1. Frontal Lobe - ANSWER ✓ (Forehead) Important for voluntary motor
action and personality traits. Injury to the frontal lobe may result in seizures
or placid reactions (flat affect).
2. Parietal Lobe - ANSWER ✓ Controls the somatic or voluntary sensory and
motor functions for the opposite side of the body, as well as memory and
emotions.
3. Occipital Lobe - ANSWER ✓ (Back of the head) Responsible for processing
visual information.
4. Temporal Lobe - ANSWER ✓ (Side of the head) Speech area, hearing, taste
and smell.
5. Treating a pt with Head Trauma - ANSWER ✓ Lidocaine to reduce ICP,
maintain O2 sats above 95%, administer high flow O2 if pt is breathing on
their own, avoid hyperventilation, restrict your use of IV fluids (unless
hypotensive, then give fluid to keep systolic above 110 or 120), and do not
give dextrose.
6. Diaphragm - ANSWER ✓ Phrenic nerve (C3-C5). Injury occurring at or
above C3-C4 may cause diaphragmatic paralysis, that is seen with
abdominal breathing and accessory muscle use.
7. Levels of ICP - ANSWER ✓ Mild- cheyne-stokes, increased BP, decreased
HR, pupils stil reactive, AMS, vomiting. Moderate- widening pulse pressure
w/ bradycardia, pupils are non-reactive, hyperventilation, posturing. Severe-
, blown pupil, biot's respirations, flaccid paralysis, irregular pulse rate,
fluctuating BP (usually hypotension).
8. Cheyne- Stokes Respirations - ANSWER ✓ Respirations that are fast and
then become slow, with intervening periods of apnea. Common in people
with head injuries/ICP.
9. Biots Respirations - ANSWER ✓ Characterized by irregular rate, pattern,
and volume of breathing with intermittent periods of apnea.
10.Babinkski Reflex - ANSWER ✓ Occurs when the toes move upward in
response to stimulation of the sole of the foot. Under normal circumstances,
the toes move downward.
11.Coup Contrecoup - ANSWER ✓ Front and rear injury. Brain slams into the
front of the skull, and then slams into the back end of the skull.
12.Autoregulation - ANSWER ✓ The body responds to a decrease in CPP by
increasing the MAP. Resulting in cerebral vasodilation and increased
cerebral blood flow. However, this is a vicious cycle cause it actually
increases ICP.
13.Decorticate - ANSWER ✓ Flexor posturing. Pt's limbs will be facing toward
their core, involving flexion of the arms and legs.
14.Decerebrate - ANSWER ✓ Extensor posturing. Pt's limbs will be extending
away from the body.
15.Intracerebral Hematoma - ANSWER ✓ Involves bleeding within the brain
tissue itself. Can follow a penetrating injury to the head. Have a high
mortality rate.
16.Hyperpyrexia - ANSWER ✓ Patients with a head injury can develop a high
body temperature, which can worsen the condition of the brain.
17.Signs and symptoms of a Pneumothorax - ANSWER ✓ Pt may only report
mild dyspnea, and pleuritic chest pain on one side. Diminished or unequal
breath sounds may be heard on auscultation. Pt's with larger pneumo's
