GRADED A+
Neurogenic Diabetes Insipidus - (answer)Swelling commonly seen after traumatic brain injury (TBI) can
lead to dangerous increases in intracranial pressure. This increase can push on the pituitary leading to
decreased ADH secretion = polyuria.
Parasympathetic Nervous System - (answer)Mediated by acetylcholine; controls rest and digest;
conserves energy and the body's resources; controls everyday metabolism
Sympathetic Nervous System - (answer)Mediated by catecholamines (epi and norepi); prepares the
body for fight or flight; mobilizes energy stores --> releases insulin; redistributes blood flow - increased
to muscles, decreased to GI/integumentary
Focal brain injury - (answer)Specific lesions that are observable on imaging; epidural or subdural
hemorrhage
Diffuse brain injury - (answer)Injuries involving widespread areas of the brain; may be difficult to detect
and define because damage is often microscopic; hypoxia is the number 1 cause; other causes include
meningitis or encephalitis
Autonomic Dysreflexia (below the lesion) - (answer)Faulty control of sweating because the hypothalmus
is unable to regulate body heat due to SNS damage; pale, cool skin
Autonomic Dysreflexia (general) - (answer)A complication occurring in a person who has a spinal cord
injury above T6
Autonomic Dysreflexia (above the lesion) - (answer)Paroxysmal hypertension (up to 300 mmHg systolic),
piloerection, and sweating with flushing of the skin; headache, bradycardia
Delirium - (answer)Acute onset, short duration; often associated with UTI, resolves with treatment;
attention and orientation are impaired; patient can be agitated, disorganized, and have hallucinations

Dementia - (answer)Usually insidious with chronic slow decline; attention and orientation are often
intact early in the progression; no overt behavioral signs early
Alzheimer Disease - (answer)Leading cause of dementia; greatest risk factors are age and family history;
specific diagnosis is made by postmortem examination
Stroke (incidence) - (answer)Two times higher in blacks than whites; tends to run in families; most
common are ischemic
Stroke (Risk Factors) - (answer)Hypertension, Insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus, High total
cholesterol or low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol level, elevated lipoprotein-A level, Heart
disease and peripheral vascular disease, Polycythemia and thrombocythemia, Atrial fibrillation,
Postmenopausal hormone therapy, High sodium intake, >2300 mg; low potassium intake, <4700 mg,
Smoking, Physical inactivity, Obesity BMI >30, Chronic sleep deprivation
Right-sided homonymous hemianopsia - (answer)Visual field loss to the side of the vertical midline. In
this case left-sided peripheral vision will be intact, but right side is lost
Middle cerebral artery stroke s/s - (answer)Contralateral hemiparesis or hemiplegia (upper extremities
greater than lower); expressive disorder with anomia (inability to name objects); nonfluent aphasia,
comprehension defects; Cheyne-Stokes respirations
Guillain-Barre - (answer)An autoimmune disease that is preceded by an infection; with the outbreak of
Zika, there has been an increase in cases; weakness plateaus around week 4 in most cases and strength
can be regained
Guillain-Barre (picture) - (answer)
Multiple Sclerosis - (answer)Chronic inflammatory disease involving degeneration of myelin; there is
usually a clinically isolated syndrome with a single episode of neurologic dysfunction (often follows
pregnancy)
