What is the normal range of Intracranial pressure? - ANSWER- 5-15mmHg,
anything above 20mmHg is abnormal
What is the normal cerebral perfusion pressure range and purpose? - ANSWER-
Normal CPP is 60-100mmHg and the pressure purpose is to ensure blood flow to
the brain.
What are the complications of an abnormal range of cerebral perfusion pressure? -
ANSWER- Below 50mmHG = ischemia and neuronal death
<30mmHg = incomparable with life.
How frequently should you monitor intracranial pressure in an acute situation and
why? - ANSWER- Should monitor at least every 30 minutes because a slight
increase in pressure can have a dramatic effect.
What is Progesterone's purpose? - ANSWER- Reduces uterine muscle irritability
& prevents spontaneous abortion of the foetus.
What is Chadwicks sign in relation to pregnancy - ANSWER- When the vagina
changes from pink to voilet
,What is Goodwells sign in relation to pregnancy? - ANSWER- The cervix softens
What is Haegar's sign in relation to pregnancy? - ANSWER- When the lower
uterine segment softens
Define Meningitis - ANSWER- It is an acute inflammation of the meningeal
tissues surrounding the brain and spinal cord. The bacteria enters CNS via upper
respiratory tract and blood stream.
What are the two bacteria responsible for meningitis? - ANSWER- Streptococcous
pneumonia & Neisseria
What are the complications of meningitis? - ANSWER- -increased intracranial
pressure
-septicemia
-Haemorrhage
Sign & symptoms of meningitis - ANSWER- -fever
-headache
-nausea & vomiting
-stiff neck
-decreased LOC
-Rash non-blanchable
What is measles - ANSWER- An airborne virus that spreads via coughing,

, When does the illness of measles start? - ANSWER- 7-18 days. People with
measles are infectious 5 days before rash and 5 days after rash disappears.

tends to start on face or behind the ears than moves over the head and down the
body.
Name common triggers for asthma - ANSWER- -Tobacco
-Pollutants
-Exercise
Describe the Pathophysiology of Asthma - ANSWER- Smooth muscles constrict in
the bronchioles, airways become inflamed, mucus production increases
Common medications used to treat Asthma - ANSWER- Short acting
bronchodilator: Salbutamol & terbutaline
Long acting bronchodilator: Salmeterol
Describe COPD - ANSWER- Chronic Obstruction of Pulmonary Disease:
Progressive development of airflow limitation that is not fully reversible and
obstruction of the lung parenchyma occurs.
Define Emphysema - ANSWER- Destruction of the alveolar walls, producing large
air spaces within the lungs, loss of lung elasticity and air trapped = decreased
surface area of lungs = decrease air exchange
Define Chronic Bronchitis - ANSWER- When inflammation and blockage destroys
cilia in the lungs = airflow resistance = increase of work of breathing.
