CORRECT ANSWERS (100% VERIFIED ANSWERS) |
ALREADY GRADED A+ (CERTIFIED BRAIN INJURY
SPECIALIST EXAM)
TBI is the ____ of all injury related deaths in the US. - ANSWER: 3rd
___ % of the US population as an acquired brain injury (including stroke, TBI, and
epilepsy) - ANSWER: 4.5%
Most common chronic conditions caused or accelerated by TBI - ANSWER: epilepsy,
sexual dysfunction, sleep disorders, and pituitary gland dysfunction
Ramifications of the Olmstead Decision - ANSWER: challenged the government to
develop more opportunities for persons with disabilities to be served through cost-
effective community based services
___% of all TBIs at mTBIs - ANSWER: 75%
___% of people with mTBI develop PPCS - ANSWER: 10-15%
Medulla - ANSWER: lowest part of the brainstem, involved in many basic living
functions such as breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, and swallowing
Pons - ANSWER: Just above the medulla. Essential for facial movements, facial
sensation, hearing, and coordinating eye movements. Also serves as a bridge of
nerve fibers connecting the cerebral cortex and cerebellum.
Midbrain - ANSWER: smallest part of the brainstem. involved in elementary parts of
seeing and hearing, pivotal role in alertness and arousal
Diencephalon - ANSWER: master relay center for forwarding information, sensations
and movements
Thalamus - ANSWER: relay station for sensory information
Hypothalamus - ANSWER: control center for hunger, thirst, sexual response,
endocrine levels, and temperature regulation, helps manage release of hormones
Limbic System - ANSWER: in the middle section of the brain, involved in emotions
and basic feelings
Hippocampus - ANSWER: within temporal lobe, associated with memory functioning
, Amygdala - ANSWER: emotional memories and reactions, including aggressive
responses and fight or flight responses
Basal Ganglia - ANSWER: helps handle physical movement by relaying information
from the cerebral cortex to the brain stem and cerebellum
Cerebellum - ANSWER: coordinates, modulates, and stores all body movements
Cerebral cortex - ANSWER: dedicated to the highest levels of thinking, moving, and
acting
Frontal lobe - ANSWER: A region of the cerebral cortex that has specialized areas for
movement, abstract thinking, planning, memory, and judgement; divided into
primary motor cortex and prefrontal cortex
Prefrontal Cortex - ANSWER: part of frontal lobe responsible for thinking, planning,
and language
Parietal Lobe - ANSWER: primary sensory cortex, responses to sensory information,
attention, awareness
Occipital lobe - ANSWER: primary visual center
Temporal Lobe - ANSWER: A region of the cerebral cortex responsible for hearing
and language, also involved in memory
Blood brain barrier - ANSWER: Ensures that, at a vascular level, harmful substances
cannot pass through the membrane to harm the brain
Possible future neuroprotective agents - ANSWER: magnesium, progesterone for
decreased cerebral edema, and nicotinimide for reduced volume of injury, reduced
BBB breaches, reduced edema, and decreased glial activation
COLDER acronym for HA - ANSWER: Character, Onset, Location, Duration,
Exacerbation, Relief
Emergence from DOC - ANSWER: functional communication verbally or gesturally OR
functional use of two or more objects
Fatigue - ANSWER: the awareness of a decreased capacity for physical and/or mental
activities due to an imbalance in the availability, utilization, and/or restoration of
resources needed to perform activity
Sleep Disruptions - ANSWER: insomnia, hypersomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness,
circadian rhythm disorders
