1. Symptoms indicative of Shaken Baby Syndrome are uncontrollable cerebral
related to: edema and hypoxia
poor nutrition and lack of parental bonding.
vaso-occlusive crisis and cerebral infarction.
uncontrollable cerebral edema and hypoxia.
microcephaly and premature closures of the cranial
sutures.
2. During this type of seizure activity, the patient loses grand mal seizure
consciousness suddenly, sometimes with a cry, and
the body stiffens into tonic extensor rigidity. Breath-
ing stops, and the person becomes cyanotic. A clonic
phase of rhythmic muscular contraction follows. This
type of seizure activity is referred to as a:
focal seizure with impairment of consciousness.
Jacksonian seizure.
focal seizure that become generalized.
grand mal seizure.
3. When assessing coordination of muscle movement, Vestibular system
four areas of the nervous system function in an inte-
grated way. These areas include the motor, cerebellar,
the vestibular, and the sensory systems. Which system
coordinates head movements?
Motor system
Cerebellar system
Vestibular system
Sensory system
4. An abnormal or unpleasant sense of touch is termed: dysesthesia
dysarthria.

headaches, mentions that the headache worsens with
coughing, sneezing, or when changing positions. In-
creasing pain with these maneuvers may be sugges-
tive of:
a brain tumor.
a migraine.
seizure activity.
subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Diabetic neuropathy
Referred pain
10. An older adult presenting with signs of undernourish- frailty
ment, slowed motor performance, and loss of muscle
mass or weakness suggests:
depression.
frailty.
Parkinson's disease.
Alzheimer's disease.
11. A patient complains of experiencing symptoms of nau- vasovagal syncope
sea, diaphoresis, and pallor triggered by a fearful or
unpleasant event. These symptoms are most likely as-
sociated with:
subarachnoid hemorrhage.
stroke.
neurocardiogenic syncope.
vasovagal syncope.
12. With the adult patient lying supine, the nurse prac- Brudzinski's sign
titioner flexes the patient's neck while observing the
hips and knees. Flexion of both hips and knees was
noted. This is a positive:
Brudzinski's sign.
