Symptoms indicative of shaken baby syndrome are related to -
✔✔ANSWER✔✔-Uncontrollable cerebral edema and hypoxia
Brain damage resulting from shaking of the body and rapid
flexing and extension of the head results in hypoxia and
cerebral edema leading to symptoms of blindness, inability to
perform previously learned milestones, and very flaccid muscle
tone.
When assessing coordination of muscle movement, four areas
of the nervous system function in an integrated way. These
areas include the motor, cerebellar, the vestibular, and the
sensory systems. Which system coordinates a steady posture. -
✔✔ANSWER✔✔-Cerebellar System
,Coordination of muscle movement requires that four areas of
the nervous system function in an integrated way:
motor system for muscle strength
cerebellar system for rhythmic movements and steady posture
vestibular system for balance and coordinating eye, head, and
body movements
sensory system for position sense
When assessing the cranial nerves, the nurse practitioner
touches the cornea lightly with a wisp of cotton. This maneuver
assesses which cranial nerve - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-Cranial nerve V
Touching the cornea and assessing for a reflex assesses cranial
nerve V
When eliciting deep tendon reflexes in the biceps, the nurse
practitioner notes an abnormal reflex in the right biceps. This
,abnormality is probable consistent with a pathological lesion in
which segmented level of the spine? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-Cervical
5 and 6
The segmented levels of the deep tendon reflexes are
Ankle: sacral 1
Knee: lumbar 2,3 &4
Supinator and biceps: cervical 5&6
Triceps: cervical 6&7
Uncontrolled electrical activity in the brain, which may produce
minor physical signs, thought disturbances, or disturbed motor
activity is: - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-Seizure
Dystonia is a neurological disorder that causes involuntary
muscle spasms and twisting of the limbs.
Bradykinesia is the term used to describe the impaired ability to
adjust to one's body position. This symptom is noted in patients
who have parkinson's disease.
, A rhythmic oscillatory movement of a body part resulting from
the contraction of opposing muscle groups is a tremor.
A band of skin innervated by the sensory root of a single spinal
nerve is termed a - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-Dermatome
A band of skin innervated by the sensory root of a single spinal
or dorsal nerve root is termed a dermatome.
A peripheral nerve field refers to an area of the skin innervated
by a single nerve and is described as a cutaneous nerve
distribution. A synapse is a structure that permits a neuron to
pass an electrical or chemical signal to another cell.
Asterixis refers to an abnormal tremor consisting of involuntary
jerking movements, especially in the hands, frequently
occurring with impending hepatic coma and other forms of
metabolic encephalopathy. This is known as flapping tremor.
A patient is asked to visually follow a finger through the cardinal
fields of gaze. Which cranial nerves are being assessed? -
✔✔ANSWER✔✔-3, 4, and 6
