100

first sign of increased ICP 

decreased LOC
100

most common type of repetitive stress injury

carpal tunnel syndrome

100

coughing, vomiting, straining, sneezing, suctioning are activities that may increase

ICP

100

leading cause of spinal cord injuries 

trauma

100

four cardinal symptoms of parkinsons

tremors, muscle rigidity, bradykinesia, postural instability

200

interventions for carpal tunnel (3)

immobilize wrists, NSAIDS, steroid injections

200
two types of drugs that are typically prescribed to treat MG 

anticholinesterase and immunosuppressants 

200
pharmacologic therapy when dealing with MS
deals with impaired immunity 
200
nursing care TBI (8) 

ABCs, spinal precautions, frequent vitals, LOC, HOB 30-45, meds to control cerebral edema and seizures, CSF, nutrition

200

manifestations of increased ICP (7)

decreased LOC, behavior change, headache, N/V, change in speech, change in sensorimotor status, seizures

300

nursing interventions for increased ICP (6)

VS q/15, mannitols, airway, strict I/O, HOB @ 30, quiet environment

300

chronic disease caused by immune, genetic, and/or infectious factors that affects the myelin and nerve fibers of the brain and spinal cord

Multiple sclerosis
300

disease caused by distorted acetylcholine receptors in the muscle motor end plate membranes; nerve impulses do no result in muscle contraction

myasthenia gravis

300
disease that involves demyelination and axonal nerve damage with diffuse areas of plaque in the white matter of the CNS

multiple sclerosis

300

patient education myasthenia gravis

meds!! keep taking them everyday 

400

treating autonomic dysreflexia (6)

elevate HOB, check BP, what is stimulus, remove it, antihypertensive, notify HCP

400

late sign of increased ICP 

**daily double **

manifestations

Cushings triad 

severe HTN, widened pulse pressure, bradycardia

400

examples of stimuli that lead to autonomic dysreflexia (6)

bowel/bladder distention, pressure ulcers, penile pressure, ingrown toenails, abd. abnormalities, uterine contraction  

400

manifestations of this syndrome include HTN, headache, flushing, nasal stuffiness, diaphoresis, piloerection, dilated pupils with blurred vision, bradycardia, restlessness and nausea

autonomic dysreflexia

400

manifestations of myasthenia gravis (2)

increasing weakness with sustained muscle contraction 

500
to assess motor function: 

wiggle toes, move ankles, flex knees, move hands and arms

500
initial care for spinal cord injury

IMMOBILIZE; neck in a neutral position using spine board and hard collar

500

a life-threatening syndrome that occurs in clients with injury above T6 due to exaggerated ANs response to stimuli below the level of lesion

autonomic dysreflexia

500

severe exacerbation of symptoms of PD may follow emotional trauma or sudden or inadvertent withdrawal of antiparkinson medications

parkinsonian crisis
