events after an injury.
Basilar Skull Fractures - correct answer ✅Usually occur following diffuse impact
to the head (such as falls, motor vehicle crashes); generally, result from extension
of a linear fracture to the base of the skull and can be difficult to diagnose with a
radiograph (x-ray).
Battle's Sign - correct answer ✅Bruising behind an ear over the mastoid process
that may indicate a skull fracture.
ST
Cerebral Edema - correct answer ✅Swelling of the brain.
O
Closed Head Injury - correct answer ✅Injury in which the brain ahs been injured
but the skin has not been broken and there is no obvious bleeding.
IC
Concussion - correct answer ✅A temporary loss or alteration of part of all of the
brain's abilities to function without actual physical damage to the brain.
Connecting Nerves - correct answer ✅Nerves in the spinal cord that connect the
motor and sensory nerves.
Coup-Contrecoup Injury - correct answer ✅Dual impacting of the brain into the
skull; coup injury occurs at the point of impact; Contrecoup injury occurs on the
opposite side of impact, as the brain rebounds.
Distraction - correct answer ✅the action of pulling the spine along its length.

Epidural Hematoma - correct answer ✅An accumulation of blood between the
skull and the dura mater.
Eyes-Forward Position - correct answer ✅A head position in which the patient's
eyes are looking straight ahead and the head and torso are in line.
Four-Person Log Roll - correct answer ✅The recommended procedure for
moving a patient with a suspected spinal injury from the ground to a long
backboard.
Intervertebral Disk - correct answer ✅The cushion that lies between two
ST
vertebrae.
Intracerebral Hematoma - correct answer ✅Bleeding within the brain tissue
O
(parenchyma) itself; also referred to as an intraparenchymal hematoma.
IC
ICP - correct answer ✅Intracranial Pressure.
Intracranial Pressure (ICP) - correct answer ✅The pressure within the cranial
vault.
Involuntary Activities - correct answer ✅Actions of the body that are not under a
person's conscious control.
Linear Skull Fractures - correct answer ✅Account for 80% of skull fractures; also
referred to as nondisplaced skull fractures; commonly occur in the temporal-
parietal region of the skull; not associated with deformities to the skull.

Meninges - correct answer ✅Three distinct layers of tissue that surround and
protect the brain and the spinal cord within the skull and the spinal canal.
Open Head Injury - correct answer ✅Injury to the head often caused by a
penetrating object in which there may be bleeding and exposed brain tissue.
Primary (Direct) Injury - correct answer ✅An injury to the brain and its
associated structures that is a direct result of impact to the head.
Raccoon Eyes - correct answer ✅Bruising under the eyes that may indicate a
skull fracture.
ST
Retrograde Amnesia - correct answer ✅The inability to remember events leading
up to a head injury.
O
IC
Secondary (Indirect) Injury - correct answer ✅The "after effects" of the primary
injury; includes abnormal processes such as cerebral edema, increased
intracranial pressure, cerebral ischemia and hypoxia, and infection; onset is often
delayed following the primary brain injury.
Subarachnoid Hemorrhage - correct answer ✅Bleeding into the subarachnoid
space, where the cerebrospinal fluid circulates.
Subdural Hematoma - correct answer ✅An accumulation of blood beneath the
dura mater but outside the brain.
Subluxation - correct answer ✅A partial or incomplete dislocation.

TBI - correct answer ✅Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) - correct answer ✅A traumatic insult to the brain
capable of producing physical, intellectual, emotional, social, and vocational
changes.
Voluntary Activities - correct answer ✅Actions that we consciously perform, in
which sensory input or conscious thought determines a specific muscular activity.
developmental disability - correct answer ✅insufficient development of the
brain resulting in some level of dysfunction or impairment. Can include
ST
intellectual, hearing, or vision impairments that surface during infanthood or
childhood
O
autism spectrum disorder (ASD) - correct answer ✅a group of complex disorders
of brain development characterized by difficulties in social interaction, repetitive
IC
behaviors, and verbal and nonverbal communication
down syndrome - correct answer ✅a genetic chromosomal defect that can occur
during fetal development and that results in intellectual impairment as well as
certain physical characteristics such as a round head with a flat occiput and
slanted wide set eyes. Increased maternal age and family history are known risk
factors for this condition.
these are the characteristics of a developmentally disabled patient - correct
