WEEK 9 QUIZ: NURS 6512– 100% Correct ANSWERS- WALDEN UNIVERSITY
Question 1
2 out of 2 points
The Denver II is a tool used to determine:
Response Denver II is a tool to determine whether the child is developing
Feedback: fine and gross motor skills, language, and personal social skills as
expected according to the child s age.
Question 2
2 out of 2 points
A positive Babinski sign is normal until what age?
Response A positive Babinski sign, fanning of the toes and dorsiflexion of the
Feedback: great toe, is a normal finding until the infant is 16 to 24 months
old.
Question 3
2 out of 2 points
While interviewing a 70-year-old female clinic patient, she tells you that she takes
ginkgo biloba and St. John s wort. You make a short note to check for results of the:
Response Ginkgo biloba and St. John s wort are herbal remedies intended to
Feedback: improve mental alertness and elevate mood. As side effects, they
can also result in disorientation and confusion that can be
monitored with the Mini-Mental State Examination. The Denver and
the Goodenough-Harris tests are used for childhood development,
and the Glasgow Coma Scale is used to rate coma depth. The CAGE
Questionnaire is useful tool for approaching a discussion of the use
of alcohol.
Question 4
2 out of 2 points
Environmental hazards and cognitive function are data needed for the personal and
social history section of a neurologic assessment for:
Response Exposure to lead, arsenic, insecticides, organic solvents, dangerous
Feedback: equipment, and work at heights or in water are important factors
to consider in the personal and social history of all patients.
Question 5
2 out of 2 points
You have asked a patient to close his eyes and identify an object placed in his hand. You
, are evaluating:
Response Stereognosis is the ability to recognize an object through touch and
Feedback: manipulation. Tactile agnosia, an inability to recognize objects by
touch, suggests a parietal lobe lesion. Graphesthesia tests the
patient s ability to identify the figure being drawn on their palm. The
vibratory sense uses a tuning fork placed on a bony prominence.
Two-point discrimination uses two sharp objects to determine the
distance at which the patient can no longer distinguish the two
points. The extinction phenomenon tests sensation by
simultaneously touching bilateral sides of the body with a sterile
needle.
Question 6
2 out of 2 points
Motor maturation proceeds in an orderly progression from:
Response Motor maturation proceeds in a cephalocaudal direction. Motor
Feedback: control of the head and neck develops first, followed by the trunk
and extremities. The other choices are incorrect because they relate
maturation sequence inappropriately.
Question 7
2 out of 2 points
Deep pressure tests are used mostly for patients who are experiencing:
Response Deep pressure sensation is tested by squeezing the trapezius, calf,
Feedback: or biceps muscle, thus causing discomfort. When superficial pain
sensation is not intact, then further assessments of temperature
and deep pressure sensation are performed.
Question 8
2 out of 2 points
Loss of immediate and recent memory with retention of remote memory suggests:
Response
Dementia is the loss of both immediate and recent memory while
Feedback:
retaining remote memories. ADHD is associated with recent and
remote memory impairment; impaired judgments are thought
process dysfunctions; and stupor is impaired consciousness. Delirium
manifests with confusion with disordered perceptions as well as
motor and sensory excitement with inappropriate reactions to
stimuli.
Question 9

points A patient in the deepest coma would be scored a on the Glasgow Coma Scale.
