Anterograde (Posttraumatic) Amnesia - correct answer Inability to remember
events after an injury.
Basilar Skull Fractures - correct answer Usually occur following diffuse impact
to the head (such as falls, motor vehicle crashes); generally, result from extension
of a linear fracture to the base of the skull and can be difficult to diagnose with a
radiograph (x-ray).
Battle's Sign - correct answer Bruising behind an ear over the mastoid process
that may indicate a skull fracture.
Cerebral Edema - correct answer Swelling of the brain.
Closed Head Injury - correct answer Injury in which the brain ahs been injured
but the skin has not been broken and there is no obvious bleeding.
Concussion - correct answer A temporary loss or alteration of part of all of the
brain's abilities to function without actual physical damage to the brain.
Connecting Nerves - correct answer Nerves in the spinal cord that connect the
motor and sensory nerves.
Coup-Contrecoup Injury - correct answer Dual impacting of the brain into the
skull; coup injury occurs at the point of impact; Contrecoup injury occurs on the
opposite side of impact, as the brain rebounds.
Distraction - correct answer the action of pulling the spine along its length.
,Epidural Hematoma - correct answer An accumulation of blood between the
skull and the dura mater.
Eyes-Forward Position - correct answer A head position in which the patient's
eyes are looking straight ahead and the head and torso are in line.
Four-Person Log Roll - correct answer The recommended procedure for
moving a patient with a suspected spinal injury from the ground to a long
backboard.
Intervertebral Disk - correct answer The cushion that lies between two
vertebrae.
Intracerebral Hematoma - correct answer Bleeding within the brain tissue
(parenchyma) itself; also referred to as an intraparenchymal hematoma.
ICP - correct answer Intracranial Pressure.
Intracranial Pressure (ICP) - correct answer The pressure within the cranial
vault.
Involuntary Activities - correct answer Actions of the body that are not under a
person's conscious control.
Linear Skull Fractures - correct answer Account for 80% of skull fractures; also
referred to as nondisplaced skull fractures; commonly occur in the temporal-
parietal region of the skull; not associated with deformities to the skull.
,Meninges - correct answer Three distinct layers of tissue that surround and
protect the brain and the spinal cord within the skull and the spinal canal.
Open Head Injury - correct answer Injury to the head often caused by a
penetrating object in which there may be bleeding and exposed brain tissue.
Primary (Direct) Injury - correct answer An injury to the brain and its
associated structures that is a direct result of impact to the head.
Raccoon Eyes - correct answer Bruising under the eyes that may indicate a
skull fracture.
Retrograde Amnesia - correct answer The inability to remember events leading
up to a head injury.
Secondary (Indirect) Injury - correct answer The "after effects" of the primary
injury; includes abnormal processes such as cerebral edema, increased
intracranial pressure, cerebral ischemia and hypoxia, and infection; onset is often
delayed following the primary brain injury.
Subarachnoid Hemorrhage - correct answer Bleeding into the subarachnoid
space, where the cerebrospinal fluid circulates.
Subdural Hematoma - correct answer An accumulation of blood beneath the
dura mater but outside the brain.
Subluxation - correct answer A partial or incomplete dislocation.
, TBI - correct answer Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) - correct answer A traumatic insult to the brain
capable of producing physical, intellectual, emotional, social, and vocational
changes.
Voluntary Activities - correct answer Actions that we consciously perform, in
which sensory input or conscious thought determines a specific muscular activity.
developmental disability - correct answer insufficient development of the
brain resulting in some level of dysfunction or impairment. Can include
intellectual, hearing, or vision impairments that surface during infanthood or
childhood
autism spectrum disorder (ASD) - correct answer a group of complex disorders
of brain development characterized by difficulties in social interaction, repetitive
behaviors, and verbal and nonverbal communication
down syndrome - correct answer a genetic chromosomal defect that can occur
during fetal development and that results in intellectual impairment as well as
certain physical characteristics such as a round head with a flat occiput and
slanted wide set eyes. Increased maternal age and family history are known risk
factors for this condition.
these are the characteristics of a developmentally disabled patient - correct
answer may appear slow to understand, limited vocabulary
immature behavior

events after an injury.
