NURG 533 Patho Module 5: Neurologic System
1. This is involuntary movements of face, trunk, and extremities; typically a side effect of anti-psychotic
drugs.: tardive dyskinesia
2. Due to a decrease in dopamine, resting tremors, cogwheel rigidity, and bradykinesia are common
features of .: Parkinson's Disease
3. Parkinson disease (depression of voluntary motor control) results from de- struction of dopamine-secreting
neurons. Drugs used to increase dopamine can lead to vomiting and hallucinations. Which neurotransmitter is it
associ- ated with?: Dopamine (Monoamine)
4. Name two diseases that can be associated with defects of the basal gan- glia.: Parkinson's and Huntington
disease
5. Lewey bodies are associated with what disorder?: Parkinson's
6. When does malignant hyperthermia in children and young adults most often occur and what is the treatment?:
Most often associated with administration of volatile anesthetics and neuromuscular-blocking agents. Treatment includes
with- draw of the provoking agents, body cooling therapy, and drugs that antagonize the ryanodine receptor
7. Increased calcium release or decreased calcium uptake with muscle con- traction causes lactic acid buildup
which leads to acidosis and temperature increases rapidly by 1.8 degree F every 5 minutes leading to
dysrhythmias and cardiac arrest.: malignant hyperthermia
8. edema of the optic nerve at its point of entrance into the eyeball.: papillede- ma
9. What causes papilledema?: increase intracranial pressure (brain tumors, in- tracranial hemorrhage,
hydrocephalus).
10.List some signs and symptoms of papilledema: The optic disc with be swollen and obliteration of the physiologic
cup. Later the optic disc will become raised and the margins will become blurred. With severe swelling, hemorrhage and
patches of white exudate surround the disc margins. Headache is also common, may be no visual changes, blurred vision,
or constriction of visual fields.
11.This may be a sign of impending optico-spinal multiple sclerosis or age related macular degeneration.:
scotoma
12.Loss of central vision associated with optic neuritis which may be associ- ated with multiple sclerosis:
Scotoma
13.This is a demyelinating autoimmune neuropathy that is triggered by bac- terial and viral infection. Caused
