Quiz: Midterm 2 Summary Notes: Spinal Cord Injury and Acute Kidney Injury Quiz questions
Question 1 of 58 Explanation
What is the primary function of the spinal cord? The spinal cord controls body movement and regulates visceral function by carrying
information to and from the brain.
A To filter toxins from the bloodstream
B To protect the brain from physical trauma
C To regulate body temperature through sweat glands
D To control body movement and regulate visceral function
,Question 2 of 58 Explanation
What is a myotome? A myotome is a group of muscles innervated by a single motor nerve root.
A An area of skin innervated by a single sensory nerve root
B A type of vertebra found in the spinal column
C A ligament that stabilizes the vertebral column
D A group of muscles innervated by a single motor nerve root
Question 3 of 58 Explanation
What are common causes of spinal cord injuries? Common causes include trauma (vehicles, sports), non-traumatic factors (vascular
issues, tumors), bone displacement and broken vertebrae.
A High blood pressure, low blood sugar, and dehydration
B Bacterial infections, viral infections, and fungal infections
C Excessive exercise, poor diet, and lack of sleep
D Vehicles, sports, tumors, and broken vertebrae
,Question 4 of 58 Explanation
What is the potential consequence of a complete spinal cord injury at a specific level? A complete spinal cord injury at a specific level results in loss of motor and sensory
function below that level.
A Loss of motor and sensory function below the level of injury
B Improved motor function and coordination
C Uncontrollable muscle spasms above the level of injury
D Increased sensitivity to pain and temperature
Question 5 of 58 Explanation
What is the significance of preventing a secondary injury after an initial spinal cord Preventing secondary injury, like edema, is crucial because it can cause more damage
injury? than the initial injury.
A Secondary injuries can cause more damage than the initial injury
B Secondary injuries are always less severe than the initial injury
C Secondary injuries primarily affect cognitive function
D Secondary injuries only prolong the healing process
, Question 6 of 58 Explanation
What is a common cardiovascular manifestation immediately following a spinal cord Vasodilation leads to low cardiac output and low blood pressure.
injury?
A Bradycardia due to increased vagal tone
B Vasoconstriction leading to increased blood pressure
C Low blood pressure due to vasodilation
D Hypertension due to autonomic dysreflexia
