Closed Head Injury - ANSWER -Injury in which the brain ahs been injured but
the skin has not been broken and there is no obvious bleeding.
Concussion - ANSWER -A temporary loss or alteration of part of all of the brain's
abilities to function without actual physical damage to the brain.
Connecting Nerves - ANSWER -Nerves in the spinal cord that connect the motor
and sensory nerves.
Coup-Contrecoup Injury - ANSWER -Dual impacting of the brain into the skull;
coup injury occurs at the point of impact; Contrecoup injury occurs on the opposite
side of impact, as the brain rebounds.
Distraction - ANSWER -the action of pulling the spine along its length.
Epidural Hematoma - ANSWER -An accumulation of blood between the skull
and the dura mater.
Eyes-Forward Position - ANSWER -A head position in which the patient's eyes
are looking straight ahead and the head and torso are in line.
Four-Person Log Roll - ANSWER -The recommended procedure for moving a
patient with a suspected spinal injury from the ground to a long backboard.
Intervertebral Disk - ANSWER -The cushion that lies between two vertebrae.
Intracerebral Hematoma - ANSWER -Bleeding within the brain tissue
(parenchyma) itself; also referred to as an intraparenchymal hematoma.
ICP - ANSWER -Intracranial Pressure.
,Intracranial Pressure (ICP) - ANSWER -The pressure within the cranial vault.
Involuntary Activities - ANSWER -Actions of the body that are not under a
person's conscious control.
Linear Skull Fractures - ANSWER -Account for 80% of skull fractures; also
referred to as nondisplaced skull fractures; commonly occur in the temporal-
parietal region of the skull; not associated with deformities to the skull.
Meninges - ANSWER -Three distinct layers of tissue that surround and protect
the brain and the spinal cord within the skull and the spinal canal.
Open Head Injury - ANSWER -Injury to the head often caused by a penetrating
object in which there may be bleeding and exposed brain tissue.
Primary (Direct) Injury - ANSWER -An injury to the brain and its associated
structures that is a direct result of impact to the head.
Raccoon Eyes - ANSWER -Bruising under the eyes that may indicate a skull
fracture.
Retrograde Amnesia - ANSWER -The inability to remember events leading up to
a head injury.
Secondary (Indirect) Injury - ANSWER -The "after effects" of the primary injury;
includes abnormal processes such as cerebral edema, increased intracranial
pressure, cerebral ischemia and hypoxia, and infection; onset is often delayed
following the primary brain injury.
Subarachnoid Hemorrhage - ANSWER -Bleeding into the subarachnoid space,
where the cerebrospinal fluid circulates.
Subdural Hematoma - ANSWER -An accumulation of blood beneath the dura
mater but outside the brain.
,Subluxation - ANSWER -A partial or incomplete dislocation.
TBI - ANSWER -Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) - ANSWER -A traumatic insult to the brain capable
of producing physical, intellectual, emotional, social, and vocational changes.
Voluntary Activities - ANSWER -Actions that we consciously perform, in which
sensory input or conscious thought determines a specific muscular activity.
developmental disability - ANSWER -insufficient development of the brain
resulting in some level of dysfunction or impairment. Can include intellectual,
hearing, or vision impairments that surface during infanthood or childhood
autism spectrum disorder (ASD) - ANSWER -a group of complex disorders of
brain development characterized by difficulties in social interaction, repetitive
behaviors, and verbal and nonverbal communication
down syndrome - ANSWER -a genetic chromosomal defect that can occur during
fetal development and that results in intellectual impairment as well as certain
physical characteristics such as a round head with a flat occiput and slanted wide
set eyes. Increased maternal age and family history are known risk factors for this
condition.
these are the characteristics of a developmentally disabled patient - ANSWER -
may appear slow to understand, limited vocabulary
immature behavior
characteristics of autism - ANSWER -severe behavioral problems, repetitive
motor activities,
impairment in verbal and nonverbal skills, difficulty making eye contact, has
trouble ANSWERing open ended questions and monotone speech
these are the most common forms of hearing loss - ANSWER -sensorineural
deafness and conductive hearing loss
, sensorineural deafness - ANSWER -a permanent lack of hearing caused by a
lesion or damage of the inner ear
conductive hearing loss - ANSWER -hearing loss caused by a faulty transmission
of sounds waves. can be caused by an accumulation of wax within the ear canal or
a perforated eardrum
tracheostomy tube - ANSWER -a plastic tube placed within the tracheostomy site
(stoma)
ventilator malfunction - ANSWER -if this malfunction occurs, remove the patient
from this devise and begin bag-valve-mask ventilations via the tracheostomy hole
internal cardiac pacemaker - ANSWER -this is a device implanted under the
patients skin to regulate the heart rate. (document the type of pacemaker)
left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) - ANSWER -this is a special piece of
medical equipment that takes over the function of one or both heart ventricles. it is
used as a bridge to heart transplantation while a donor heart is located. may be
difficult to palpate a pulse in patients who have this
central venous catheter - ANSWER -a catheter that has its tip placed in the vena
cavato and provides venous access (pick-line) used for home care patients,
chemotherapy, long term antibiotic or pain management, total parental nutrition
(TPN) hemodialysis, or high concentration glucose solutions. common locations -
chest, upper arm, subclavicular
gastrostomy tubes - ANSWER -these may be placed into the stomach for patients
who cannot ingest fluids, food or medication by mouth.
this transport position should be used for patients with gastric tubes and difficulty
breathing - ANSWER -sitting or lying on the right side with the head elevated 30
degrees
