NBCOT QUIZ WITH COMPLETE
SOLUTIONS 100% CORRECT!!!
Term: Athetosis
Answer: ✔✔ A neurological condition marked by continuous, slow, involuntary
writhing or twisting movements. It frequently presents in individuals with athetoid
cerebral palsy, commonly disrupting purposeful hand functions and clear speech
coordination.
Term: Choreoathetosis
Answer: ✔✔ A movement disorder characterized by a simultaneous combination
of chorea (rapid, erratic, dancing muscle contractions) and athetosis (slow, sinuous
writhing). It stems from basal ganglia dysfunction caused by a variety of
neurological diseases or pharmacological side effects.
Term: Confrontation Testing
Answer: ✔✔ A preliminary, non-instrumental clinical assessment used to map a
patient's peripheral visual fields. The medical provider and the patient look directly
into each other’s eyes while the examiner introduces small targets from the upper,
lower, and side outer boundaries to detect major blind spots.
Term: Tonic-Clonic Seizures
Answer: ✔✔ A major generalized convulsion involving an immediate loss of
consciousness. The episode begins with a "tonic" phase where the skeletal muscles
lock into rigid contraction, followed by a "clonic" phase characterized by rhythmic,
violent muscle jerking; these typically last 1 to 3 minutes and require an extended
post-ictal recovery period.
Term: Myoclonic Seizures
Answer: ✔✔ Sudden, brief, shock-like contractions of an isolated muscle or
localized muscle group. Unlike generalized convulsions, individuals experiencing
these rapid jerks typically retain full consciousness and awareness during the
episode.
Term: Absence Seizures
, Answer: ✔✔ A non-convulsive generalized seizure characterized by brief staring
spells and a sudden, temporary lapse in consciousness. Typically lasting less than
15 seconds, these episodes are caused by brief, abnormal electrical discharges in
the brain and are frequently mistaken for simple daydreaming.
