strokes.
hemorrhagic
The main drug therapy for patients with _____ stroke is the management of
hypertension.
hemorrhagic
The _____ _____ of a spinal cord injury (SCI) is initial physical disruption of the
spinal cord.
primary injury
,The _____ _____ of a spinal cord injury is from processes, such as ischemia,
hypoxia, hemorrhage, edema
secondary injury
_____ _____ may occur shortly after acute SCI. It is characterized by loss of deep
tendon and sphincter reflexes, loss of sensation, and flaccid paralysis below the
level of injury.
Spinal shock
_____ _____ involvement results in total loss of sensory and motor function below
the level of injury.
Complete cord
_____ _____ involvement results in a mixed loss of voluntary motor activity and
sensation and leaves some tracts intact.
Incomplete cord
Which sided stroke has impaired speech/language aphasia; impaired right/left
discrimination; slow performance/cautious,; depression/anxiety; impaired
comprehension.
Left-Sided

Electrolyte panel with blood glucose; Lipid profile; Renal and hepatic studies
Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is used to produce localized
fibrinolysis by binding to the fibrin in the thrombi, and is the immediate treatment
for _____ _____.
Ischemic stroke
SCI at C1-C3
, Often fatal; Movement in neck and above, loss of innervation to diaphragm,
absence of independent respiratory function
SCI at C4
