Health Assessment Mental/ Neuro (Ch. 5&22) Test Bank Questions,Aready graded A+
1.The autonomic nervous system coordinates which of the following?
a.High-level cognitive function
b.Balance and affect
c.Internal organs of the body
d.Balance and equilibrium: C
The autonomic nervous system coordinates the internal environment
of the body by the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous
systems. The other options are associated with the cerebral cortex;
its function consists of determining intelligence, personality, and
motor function.
2.The major function of the sympathetic nervous system is to:
a.orchestrate the stress response.
b.coordinate fine motor movement.
c.determine proprioception.
d.perceive stereognosis.: A
Stimulation of the sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous
system prepares the body for emergencies for fight or flight (stress
response). The cerebellum plays a key role in the coordination of fine
motor movements. Recognition of body parts and awareness of body
position (proprioception) are dependent on the parietal lobe.
Stereognosis is the ability to perceive the weight and form of solid
objects by touch and is not under sympathetic control.
3.he parasympathetic nervous system maintains the day-to function of: a.digestion.
b.response to stress.
c.lymphatic supply to the brain.
d.lymphatic drainage of the brain.: A 4.The parasympathetic division functions in a complementary and counterbalancing manner to conserve body resources and maintain day to day body functions, such as digestion and elimination.Cerebrospinal fluid serves as a:
a.nerve impulse transmitter.
b.red blood cell conveyer.
c.shock absorber.
d.mediator of voluntary skeletal movement.: C
Cerebrospinal fluid circulates between an interconnecting system of
ventricles in the brain and around the brain and spinal cord, serving
as a shock absorber.
5.Diabetic peripheral neuropathy will likely produce:
a.hyperactive ankle reflexes.
b.diminished pain sensation.
c.exaggerated vibratory sense.
d.hypersensitive temperature perception.: B
Peripheral neuropathy is a disorder of the peripheral nervous system
that results in motor and sensory loss in the distribution of one or
more nerves, usually in the hands and feet. Patients may have
sensations of numbness, tingling, burning, and cramping. In moderate
to severe diabetic neuropathy, there is wasting of the foot muscles,
absent ankle and knee reflexes, decreased or no vibratory sensation
below the knees, and/or loss of pain or sharp touch sensation to the
midcalf level.
7.The thalamus is the major integration center for the perception of: a.speech.
b.olfaction.
c.pain.
d.thoughts.: C
8.The thalamus is the major integrating center for the perception of
various sensations such as pain and temperature, serving as the relay
center between the basal ganglia and cerebellum. The reception of
speech and interpretation of speech are located in the Wernicke area. The olfactory sense is processed in the parietal lobe. The cerebrum
holds memories, allows you to plan, and enables you to imagine and
think.The awareness of body position is known as:
a.proprioception.
b.graphesthesia.
c.stereognosis.
d.two-point discrimination.: A
Recognition of body parts and awareness of body position are known as proprioception. This is dependent on the parietal lobe. The other options are assessment techniques that test for sensory impairment.
9.Which area of the brain is responsible for perceiving sounds and determining their source?
a.Frontal lobe
b.Occipital lobe
c.Parietal lobe
d.Temporal lobe: D
The temporal lobe is responsible for the perception and interpretation
of sounds and determination of their source. The frontal lobe contains
the motor cortex associated with voluntary skeletal movement. The
occipital lobe contains the primary vision center. The parietal lobe is
primarily responsible for processing received sensory data.
10.Peripheral nerves that arise from the brain rather than the spinal
cord are called ___________ nerves.
a.sympathetic
b.parasympathetic
c.cranial
d.autonomic: C
Cranial nerves are peripheral nerves that arise from the brain rather
than the spinal cord. The other choices refer to the autonomic
nervous system.
11.Which area of the brain maintains temperature control?
a.Epithalamus
b.Thalamus
c.Abducens
