FINAL EXAM NR574. WEEK 6: SPINAL CORD INJURIES. QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT VERIFIED ANSWERS | 100% PASS (A+ CERTIFIED) 1. The vertebrae are numbered and divided into regions. What are th 5 regions of the spine Correct Answer cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacrum, and coccyx 2. primary spinal cord injury Correct Answer A primary SCI injury occurs at the time of the incident. The initial damage caused by this trauma is considered the primary injury. 3. Secondary spinal cord injury Correct Answer occur after the initial injury and typically occur from edema, movement of bone fragments, and/or vertebral artery compression causing ischemia. -Hypoperfusion, which slows or blocks action potentials, can develop within minutes to hours following SCI and is commonly referred to as neurogenic or spinal shock. Secondary damage is influenceable meaning that if you minimize SCI swelling and hypoperfusion, you minimize secondary damage. 4. What is the motor function of C5 Correct Answer C5- Elbow flexion (biceps) 5. What is the motor function of C6 Correct Answer C6-Wrist extension (extensor carpi radialis) 6. what is the motor function of C7 Correct Answer C7- Elbow extension (triceps) 7. what is the motor function of C8 Correct Answer C8 -Finger flexion (flexor digitorum profundus) 8. what is the motor function of T1 Correct Answer T1-Small finger abduction (abductor digiti minimi) 9. what is the motor function of L1 Correct Answer L2-Hip flexion (iliopsoas) 10. what is the motor function of L3 Correct Answer L3-Knee extension (quadriceps) 11. what is the motor function of L4 Correct Answer L4-Ankle dorsiflexion (tibialis anterior) 12. what is the motor function of L5 Correct Answer L5- Great toe extension (extensor hallucis longus) 13. what is the motor function of S1 Correct Answer S1-Ankle plantarflexion (gastrocsoleus complex) 14. what is the deep tendon reflex of C5-C6 Correct Answer -Biceps tendon reflex (contraction of the biceps muscle) -Brachioradialis tendon reflex (elbow flexion and/or forearm pronation) 15. what is the deep tendon reflex of C7-C8 Correct Answer Triceps tendon reflex (elbow extension or contraction of the triceps muscle) 16. what is the deep tendon reflex of L3-L4 Correct Answer Patellar tendon reflex (knee extension) 17. what is the deep tendon reflex of S1-S2 Correct Answer Achilles tendon (plantarflexion of the foot) 18. Autonomic Dysreflexia occurs with patients that have what level of injury Correct Answer - This complication can occur in SCIs that occur above the level of T6. 19. Autonomic Dysreflexia: What is it Correct Answer Dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system leads to an uncoordinated sympathetic response that may result in a potentially life-threatening hypertensive episode when there is a noxious stimulus below the level of the spinal cord injury. 20. Most common causes of autonomic dysreflexia Correct Answer -noxious stimulus below the level of the spinal cord injury. -urological source such as a urinary tract infection (UTI), a distended bladder, or a clogged Foley catheter. 21. clinical findings of autonomic dysreflexia Correct Answer a severe headache (throbbing), bradycardia, and facial flushing,
