| GRADE A | 100% CORRECT
lost productivity .....ANSWER.....one measure of the cost to society
due to injury or disease; includes the loss of wages a person
would have earned if they had not become unemployable due to
disability, loss of taxes contributing to economy, costs to the
government of supporting the individual, etc.; lost productivity
costs DO NOT include cost of treatment and support post-injury
or illness
acquired brain injury (ABI) .....ANSWER.....An injury to the brain
that is not hereditary, congenital, degenerative, or induced by
birth trauma
traumatic brain injury (TBI) .....ANSWER.....an alteration in brain
function, or other evidence of brain pathology, caused by an
external force
,Page 2 of 86
traumatic impact .....ANSWER.....injuries resulting from contact
(when head is struck by or against an object)
traumatic intertial injuries .....ANSWER.....injury to the brain not
caused by impact but as a result of inertial forces, such as
acceleration-deceleration forces
closed injuries .....ANSWER.....injury to the brain resulting in brain
lacerations, contusions or intracerebral hemorrhage
open injuries .....ANSWER.....injury to the head in which there is a
breach of the skull or a breach of the meninges
penetrating brain injury .....ANSWER.....any injury that involves
the penetration of a foreign object, munitions, fragment, bone
chip, etc. through the dura mater
non-traumatic brain injury .....ANSWER.....damage to the brain
caused by internal factors, such as oxygen or nutrient deprivation
to brain cells, exposure to toxins, pressure from a tumor or
blockage, or other neurological disorder
,Page 3 of 86
coup-contrecoup injury .....ANSWER.....Coup injury: head injury
that results from impact of a moving object--occurs at the site of
impact
Contrecoup effect: impact injury resulting from the moving head
striking a stationary object--injury occurs at the side of the head
opposite the point of impact
primary injury .....ANSWER.....initial cause of damage to the
brain, from which injury severity ratings are obtained
secondary injury .....ANSWER.....pathophysiological events that
occur following the initial primary injury to the brain
loss of consciousness (LOC) .....ANSWER.....temporary altered
state, unlike sleep, when a person is unresponsive to stimuli;
usually due to trauma, stroke, or other injury
risk factors for brain injury .....ANSWER.....injury severity
, Page 4 of 86
age at injury
alcohol misuse
domestic violence
service in the military
participation in sports
history of prior brain injury
chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) .....ANSWER.....a
condition, diagnosed after death, relative to multiple concussions
caused by significant force. A progressive degenerative disease,
CTE is most often sustained by athletes participating in contact
sports; may also be observed in domestic violence victims or
abused children who have sustained numerous blows to the head
neurogenic bladder .....ANSWER.....a secondary condition caused
when a TBI affects the cerebral structures controlling bladder
storage and emptying functions
