Neurological Disorders – 35 Exam Q&A | Acute & Chronic Brain Functions | Nursing | TBI, Stroke, Seizures, GCS | 2025/2026

This document presents 35 accurately answered, exam-style questions focused on acute and chronic brain functions, tailored for the 2025/2026 academic year. It serves as an essential study resource for mastering critical neurological topics such as traumatic brain injury (TBI), seizure classifications (myoclonic, absence, partial), the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), increased intracranial pressure (ICP), cerebral aneurysms, stroke types (embolic, ischemic, hemorrhagic), diffuse axonal injury, and neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Each question is clearly worded and paired with a verified, correct answer, ensuring reliability for self-assessment, tutoring, or exam preparation. Clinical scenarios are integrated to simulate real-world healthcare settings, helping learners apply theoretical knowledge to patient care. Key physiological processes such as ATP production, oxygen dependence, and cranial nerve dysfunctions are also covered with precision. This document is particularly useful for students in the following fields: Nursing (BSN, RN, ADN, LPN/LVN) Medicine (pre-clinical, neurology rotation, USMLE review) Allied health programs (e.g., physiotherapy, radiology tech, EMT/paramedic) Physician Assistant programs It supports a wide range of university-level courses, including: Medical-Surgical Nursing Neurological and Adult Health Nursing Pathophysiology Clinical Neuroscience Emergency and Trauma Care Whether you're preparing for midterms, finals, NCLEX, or clinical rotations, this high-quality guide bridges knowledge gaps and enhances clinical reasoning.
