QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED ANSWERS | UPDATED
1. Anterograde (Posttraumatic) Amnesia
Answer: Inability to remember events after an injury.
2. Basilar Skull Fractures
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).
3. Battle's Sign
Answer: Bruising behind an ear over the mastoid process that
may indicate a skull fracture.
4. Cerebral Edema
Answer: Swelling of the brain.
5. Closed Head Injury
Answer: Injury in which the brain has been injured but the skin
has not been broken and there is no obvious bleeding.
6. Concussion
Answer: A temporary loss or alteration of part or all of the
brain's abilities to function without actual physical damage to
the brain.
7. Connecting Nerves
Answer: Nerves in the spinal cord that connect the motor and
sensory nerves.
,8. Coup-Contrecoup Injury
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.
9. Distraction
Answer: The action of pulling the spine along its length.
10. Epidural Hematoma
Answer: An accumulation of blood between the skull and the
dura mater.
11. Eyes-Forward Position
Answer: A head position in which the patient's eyes are looking
straight ahead and the head and torso are in line.
12. Four-Person Log Roll
Answer: The recommended procedure for moving a patient with
a suspected spinal injury from the ground to a long backboard.
13. Intervertebral Disk
Answer: The cushion that lies between two vertebrae.
14. Intracerebral Hematoma
Answer: Bleeding within the brain tissue (parenchyma) itself;
also referred to as an intraparenchymal hematoma.
15. ICP
Answer: Intracranial Pressure.
16. Intracranial Pressure (ICP)
Answer: The pressure within the cranial vault.
,17. Involuntary Activities
Answer: Actions of the body that are not under a person's
conscious control.
18. Linear Skull Fractures
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.
19. Meninges
Answer: Three distinct layers of tissue that surround and protect
the brain and the spinal cord within the skull and the spinal
canal.
20. Open Head Injury
Answer: Injury to the head often caused by a penetrating object
in which there may be bleeding and exposed brain tissue.
21. Primary (Direct) Injury
Answer: An injury to the brain and its associated structures that
is a direct result of impact to the head.
22. Raccoon Eyes
Answer: Bruising under the eyes that may indicate a skull
fracture.
23. Retrograde Amnesia
Answer: The inability to remember events leading up to a head
injury.
24. Secondary (Indirect) Injury
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.
25. Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Answer: Bleeding into the subarachnoid space, where the
cerebrospinal fluid circulates.
26. Subdural Hematoma
Answer: An accumulation of blood beneath the dura mater but
outside the brain.
27. Subluxation
Answer: A partial or incomplete dislocation.
28. TBI
Answer: Traumatic Brain Injury
29. Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
Answer: A traumatic insult to the brain capable of producing
physical, intellectual, emotional, social, and vocational changes.
30. Voluntary Activities
Answer: Actions that we consciously perform, in which sensory
input or conscious thought determines a specific muscular
activity.
31. developmental disability
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
