Question 1
What is the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) range for moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI)?
A. 13-15 (mild)
B. 9-12 (moderate)
C. 3-8 (severe)
D. 15 (normal)
CORRECT ANSWER
B. 9-12 (moderate)
RATIONALE
• Mild: 13-15, Moderate: 9-12, Severe: 3-8.
• Moderate TBI: LOC 30min-6hrs, lethargic to obtunded, follows commands with arousal.
• Severe TBI: memory loss >24hrs, requires intubation.
, Question 2
Normal intracranial pressure (ICP) range is:
A. 0-5 mmHg
B. 5-10 mmHg
C. 10-15 mmHg
D. 15-20 mmHg
CORRECT ANSWER
C. 10-15 mmHg
RATIONALE
• Normal ICP is 10-15 mmHg in adults.
• CPP = MAP - ICP (normal 70-100 mmHg).
• ICP >20 mmHg requires intervention.
Question 3
Which findings are part of Cushing's triad (increased ICP complication)?
A. Hypotension, tachycardia, tachypnea
B. Hypertension, bradycardia, wide pulse pressure
C. Hypotension, bradycardia, narrow pulse pressure
D. Hypertension, tachycardia, irregular respirations
CORRECT ANSWER
B. Hypertension, bradycardia, wide pulse pressure
RATIONALE
• Cushing's triad indicates severe increased ICP and impending brain herniation.
• Components: severe hypertension, bradycardia, widening pulse pressure.
• Medical emergency requiring immediate intervention.
