Explanation: respiratory pattern that is the result of CNS damage or disease, involves the
lower midbrain and upper pons. This neurologic injury is observed after
increased ICP and blunt head trauma. Damage to any of the other areas
listed would not produce this breathing pattern.
Question 3 Question : Which term is used to describe a hernial protrusion of a saclike

Question 4 Question : Which term is used to describe a complication that can result
. from a spinal cord injury above T6 that is producing paroxysmal
hypertension, as well as piloerection and sweating above the
spinal cord lesion?
Student Craniosacral dysreflexia
Answer:
Parasympathetic dysreflexia
Autonomic hyperreflexia
Retrograde hyperreflexia
Instructor Individuals most likely to be affected have lesions at the T6 level or above.
Explanation: Paroxysmal hypertension (up to 300 mm Hg systolic), a pounding headache,
blurred vision, sweating above the level of the lesion with flushing of the
skin, nasal congestion, nausea, piloerection caused by pilomotor spasm, and
bradycardia (30 to 40 beats/minute) characterize autonomic hyperreflexia.
No other options appropriately describe this complication.
