d. Bradykinesia
4. In the severe stages of PD, the pts arms are affected, shuffling gate and they have a mask-like
face. t/f
a. False—in the mild stage this occurs
5. With migraines, if an aura is present, it includes visual changes, flashing lights, colors? t/f
a. True
6. Generalized seizures involve both cerebral hemispheres. t/f

8. What is the preferred medication to admin during a seizure?
a. Lorazepam
9. Status epilepticus is not a life-threatening t/f
a. False
10. Viral meningitis has a high fatality rate, even with tx, typically within 24-48 hours. T/f
a. False—bacterial meningitis is highly fatal
11. Progressive relapsing MS (PRMS) includes frequent relapses with only partial recovery. t/f
a. True
12. Signs of ALS include: progressive weakness and wasting in the hands and limbs, then upper arms
and shoulders. t/f
a. True
13. Hyperextension is sudden and extreme movement of the head forward causing extreme flexion
of the neck. t/f
a. False—hyper reflection is a sudden and extreme movement of the head forward causing
extreme flexion of the neck.
b. Hyperextension is an accelerated and then decelerated movement of the head.
Associated with motor vehicle accidents from the rear.
14. With incomplete (paresis), the spinal cord has been damaged so at there so no innervation
below the level of injury. t/f
a. False—incomplete means the ability of the spinal cord to convey messages to or from
the brain is not completely lost. Some sensation (even if faint) and movement is possible
below the level of injury.
15. Autonomic dysreflexia is a sudden, potentially life-threatening occurrence in patients with SCIs.
t/f
a. True

16. A CVA affects opposite sides of the body. t/f
a. True
17. An ischemic stroke involves bleeding in and around the brain tissue. t/f
a. False. A hemorrhagic stoke involves bleeding.
18. With an ischemic stroke, embolic plaques can break loose and occlude vessels. t/f
a. True
19. The “thunderclap” headache is common with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). t/f
a. False—occurs with no hemorrhage.
20. Left hemisphere stroke, is dominant in most pts, center for language, math, and analysis. T/f
a. True
21. Receptive aphasia is referred to as “Broca’s” or motor, aphasia. t/f
a. False—receptive aphasia is referred toas Wernicke’s aphasia, able to speak well and use
long sentences, but what is said may not make sense.
b. Broca’s aphasia or expressive aphasia, partial loss of the ability to produce language
(spoken, manual, or written)

a. True
23. Interventions for pts experiencing strokes are determined primarily by the type and extent of the
stroke. t/f
a. True
24. Alteplase (tPA) is primarily given for hemorrhagic stroke. t/f
a. False—tPA is a clot buster, therefore it is contraindicated for bleeding disorders.
25. What is the time for admin tPA?
a. Within 3 hours. No longer than 4.5 hours after onset of symptoms
26. What is the acronym used for quick assessment if a stroke is occurring?
a. BEFAST
i. B: balance; watch for sudden loss of balance
ii. E: eyes; check for vision loss
iii. F: face; look for an uneven smile
iv. A: arm; check if one arm is weak
v. S: speech; listen for slurred speech
vi. T: time; call 911 right away
27. Indirect injury involved a force produced by a blow to the head. t/f
a. False—an indirect injury is a gunshot wound
28. With a closed injury, the skull is fractured/pierced by a penetrating object. t/f
a. False—this would be an open injury because the skin would be broken

and cerebral edema. t/f
a. True

a. 10-15 mmHg—should not exceed 20 mmHg
31. A subdural hematoma results from arterial bleeding into the space between the dura and the
inner skull. t/f
