Cheyne-Stokes –
Cheyne-Stokes respirations are described as a:
a.
Sustained deep rapid but regular pattern of breathing
b.
Crescendo-decrescendo pattern of breathing, followed by a period of apnea
c.
Prolonged inspiratory period, gradually followed by a short expiratory period
d.
Completely irregular breathing pattern with random shallow, deep breaths
and irregular pauses
• Vomiting and CNS injuries
Vomiting is associated with central nervous system (CNS) injuries that compress which of the
brain’s anatomic locations?
a.
Vestibular nuclei in the lower brainstem
b.
Floor of the third ventricle
c.
Any area in the midbrain
d.
Diencephalon
• Status epilepticus
Status epilepticus is considered a medical emergency because of the:
a.
Loss of consciousness
b.
Development of cerebral hypoxia
c.
Possibility of a head injury during seizures
d.
Decrease in brain metabolism
A sudden, explosive, disorderly discharge of cerebral neurons is termed:
a.
Reflex c. Epilepsy
b.
Seizure d. Convulsion
• Partial Seizure
A complex partial seizure is described as:
a.
Alternating of tonic and clonic movements
b.
Impairment of both consciousness and the ability to react to exogenous stimuli
c.
Focal motor movement without loss of consciousness
d.
One seizure followed by another in less than 1 minute
, STUDY GUIDE
What type of seizure starts in the fingers and progressively spreads up the arm and extends to the
leg?
a.
Complex-psychomotor seizure c. Generalized seizures
b.
Focal (partial) Jacksonian seizure d. Atonic-drop seizure
Multiple sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis and Guillain-Barré syndrome are similar in that they both:
a.
Result from demyelination by an immune reaction.
b.
Cause permanent destruction of peripheral nerves.
c.
Result from inadequate production of neurotransmitters.
d.
Block acetylcholine receptor sites at the myoneuronal junction.
ANS:A
What is the central component of the pathogenic model of multiple sclerosis?
a. Myelination of nerve fibers in the peripheral nervous system (PNS)
b. Demyelination of nerve fibers in the CNS
c. Development of neurofibrillary tangles in the CNS
d. Inherited autosomal dominant trait with high penetrance
Multiple sclerosis is best described as a(an):
a. Central nervous system demyelination, possibly from an immunogenetic virus
b. Inadequate supply of acetylcholine at the neurotransmitter junction as a result of
an autoimmune disorder
c. Depletion of dopamine in the central nervous system as a result of a virus
d. Degenerative disorder of lower and upper motor neurons caused by viral-
immune factors
