pressure . CORRECT ANSWER: The sympathetic nervous system primarily
serves to protect an individual by doing which of the following? (select all that
apply)
• C.Sympathetic Nervous System . CORRECT ANSWER: Increasing body
temperature
• E.Sympathetic Nervous System . CORRECT ANSWER: Increasing blood
pressure, increases blood sugar levels, increases body temperature.
• Sympathetic Nervous System . CORRECT ANSWER: Increases blood sugar
levels, increases body temperature, and increases blood pressure
• . CORRECT ANSWER: In general, sympathetic stimulation promotes
responses that are concerned with the protection of the individual, which include
increasing glucose, body temp, and BP.
• 3. Mobilizing energy stores, glucose to muscles, decreased release of insulin,
redirects blood supply from the gut to the muscles, heart, and lungs . CORRECT
ANSWER: Review: the sympathetic system is all about what?
,• Sympathetic System . CORRECT ANSWER: It's all about mobilizing energy
stores, for instance glucose to muscles, decreased release of insulin, redirects blood
supply from the gut to the muscles, heart, and lungs.
• 4.Level of consciousness . CORRECT ANSWER: Which characteristic is the
most critical index of nervous system dysfunction?
• Most Critical Index of Nervous system dysfunction . CORRECT ANSWER:
LOC is the most critical clinical index of nervous system function or dysfunction.
An alteration in consciousness indicates either improvement or deterioration of a
person's condition.
• 5.Prefrontal Lobe . CORRECT ANSWER: Thought and goal-oriented behaviors
are functions of which area of the brain?
• Prefrontal lobe . CORRECT ANSWER: area is responsible for goal-oriented
behavior such as the ability to concentrate, short-term or recall memory, and the
elaboration of thought and inhibition on the limbic (emotional) areas of the CNS.
• 6. Broca area in the frontal lobe . CORRECT ANSWER: Where is the region
responsible for the motor aspects?
• Broca are in the frontal lobe . CORRECT ANSWER: Broca speech area is the
only region responsible for the motor aspects of speech.
• 7.Basal ganglia . CORRECT ANSWER: Parkinson and Huntington diseases are
associated with defects in which area of the brain?
,• 8. Hypothalamus . CORRECT ANSWER: Maintenance of a constant internal
environment and the implementation of behavioral patterns are main functions of
which area of the brain?
• 1)maintenance of a constant internal environment, and 2) implementation of
behavioral patterns . CORRECT ANSWER: Hypothalamic function falls into 2
major areas:
• 9.Limbic System and prefrontal cortex . CORRECT ANSWER: What parts of
the brain mediate the expression of affect, both emotional and behavioral states?
• Mediate expression of affect, both emotional and behavioral states . CORRECT
ANSWER: Limbic system and prefrontal cortex
• 10. Medulla Oblongata . CORRECT ANSWER: Reflex activities concerned with
heart rate, blood pressure, respirations, sneezing, swallowing, and coughing are
controlled by which area of the brain?
• Medulla Oblongata . CORRECT ANSWER: makes up the myelencephalon and
is the lowest portion of the brainstem.
• 11.Cerebellum . CORRECT ANSWER: Which area of the brain assumes the
responsibility for conscious and unconscious muscle synergy and for maintaining
balance and posture?
• 12. 20% or 800 to 1000 ml of blood flow per minute . CORRECT ANSWER:
The brain receives approximately what percentage of the cardiac output?
• 13. uneven expression of mood, unstable blood glucose levels, and poor
temperature regulation . CORRECT ANSWER: What evidence does the nurse
, expect to see when a patient experiences trauma to the hypothalamus? (select all
that apply)
• Trauma to hypothalamus . CORRECT ANSWER: Uneven expression of mood,
unstable blood glucose levels, and poor temp regulation
• Hypothalamus . CORRECT ANSWER: Forms the base of the diencephalon.
Function controls autonomic nervous system function, regulation of body temp,
endocrine function (glucose levels), and regulation of emotional expression.
• 14.Skin and Mucous Membranes . CORRECT ANSWER: What is the first
defense of our bodies?
• 15. To prevent infection of the injured tissue . CORRECT ANSWER: Which
action is the purpose of the inflammatory process?
• Inflammation . CORRECT ANSWER: If the epithelial barrier is damaged, then a
highly efficient local and system response ______________ is mobilized to limit
the extent of damage, to protect against infection, and to initiate the repair of
damaged tissue.
• Loss of function (functio laesa) . CORRECT ANSWER: There is a 5th sign
known as loss of function (functio laesa) but Dr. Wunderlich did not mention this.
• 16.Edema (tumor), warmth (calor), redness (rubor), and pain (dolar) .
CORRECT ANSWER: What are the 4 cardinal signs of infection?
• 17. Leukocytes . CORRECT ANSWER: Which type of white blood cell is first
to arrive at the site of infection?
