NUR 2755 Neurological Nursing Exam 1 – 120 Questions on Stroke, Seizures, Parkinson’s & ICP Management – 2026 MDC4 Fall

This document contains a structured 120-question review for NUR 2755 Neurological Nursing Exam 1 (MDC4 Fall 2026), presented in a clear question-and-answer format. The content focuses on core neurological nursing principles including stroke care (approaching from the unaffected side, thrombolytic blood pressure control with labetalol), seizure management and medication adherence, Parkinson’s disease mobility strategies, migraine triggers, trigeminal neuralgia, Guillain-Barré syndrome respiratory risk, Bell’s palsy eye protection, and traumatic brain injury positioning with head-of-bed elevation to reduce intracranial pressure. Extensive safety and assessment concepts are included, such as recognizing early signs of increased intracranial pressure, performing thorough neurological assessments prior to medication administration, fall prevention strategies, venous thromboembolism prevention (anticoagulants, SCDs, repositioning), and seizure precautions in encephalitis. The review also addresses EEG preparation, occipital lobe visual disturbances, contralateral stroke indicators (arm drift and pronation), diabetes insipidus management with vasopressin after pituitary surgery, infusion rate calculations (gtt/mL), and safe administration of high-alert medications. Clinical judgment, prioritization of care, therapeutic communication, and patient education strategies are emphasized throughout. The material aligns closely with Lewis’s Medical-Surgical Nursing: Assessment and Management of Clinical Problems and standard neurological nursing curricula used in ADN and BSN programs. It reinforces neurological assessment skills, safety prioritization, pharmacologic management, and complication recognition essential for first-exam success in neurological nursing courses. This document is particularly relevant for: Students enrolled in NUR 2755 Neurological Nursing ADN nursing students in medical-surgical or neuro-focused courses BSN students preparing for neurology exam content Nursing students reviewing stroke, seizure, and neuro assessment principles Students preparing for neurological unit clinical rotations It serves as a focused, exam-oriented study guide designed to strengthen neurological assessment, safety interventions, pharmacologic management, patient education, and clinical reasoning skills.
