What are reflexes?
100
This is the term that means diminished muscle strength.
What is Paresis
100
This assessment includes level of consciousness, motor function, pupillary response, & vital signs.
What is the Neurologic Re-check
200
You assess the nerve by testing visual acuity (Snellen chart) & visual fields with confrontation.
What is Cranial Nerve II- Optic Nerve
200
It is the lobe of the brain responsible for personality, behavior, emotions, & intellectual functions. It keeps you from "forgetting"
What is the Frontal Lobe
200
This pathologic reflex is only normal in infancy and should disappear after age 2.
What is the Babinski Reflex
200
This test assesses Cerebellar function (posture & "bell"ance) by asking the client to stand in a stable position with their eyes closed.
What is the Romberg test
200
This is the most important assessment parameter in a neuro assessment.
What is level of consciousness?
300
You assess this nerve by asking the client to close their eyes and smell different substances.
What is Cranial Nerve I- Olfactory Nerve
300
It is the lobe of the brain responsible for sensation & "p"ain.
What is the Parietal lobe
300
This reflex is assessed directly above the elbow. The normal response is extension of the forearm.
What is the Triceps Reflex
300
This terms means uncoordinated or unsteady gait.
What is Ataxia
300
This assesses eye-opening response, best motor response, & best verbal response.
What is the Glasgow-Coma scale?
400
You assess this nerve by noting facial symmetry as the client smiles, frowns, closes the eyes, lift eyebrows, show teeth, & puff cheeks.
What is Cranial Nerve VII- Facial Nerve
400
It is the lobe of the brain that is responsible for vision. "O, look"
What is the Occipital Lobe
400
The terms means absence of a reflex which occurs with a lower motor neuron condition (spinal cord injury)
What is Hyporeflexia
400
This term means abnormally small muscles with wasted appearance which occurs with disuse, injury, & lower motor neuron diseases.
What is Atrophy
400
This is the term for the loc pattern of not fully alert, drifts to sleep easily when not stimulated, can be aroused to name in normal voice tones but looks drowsy, responds appropriately to questions/commands, but thinking seems slower.
What is Lethargic?
500
You assess these nerves by observing papebral fissures for symmetry, assessing pupils, & assessing extraocular movements with cardinals positions of gaze.
What is Cranial Nerves III, IV, & VI- Oculomotor, Trochlear, & Abducens
500
These are neurons that are located in the peripheral nervous system. Movement must be translated into action by these neurons.
What is Lower Motor Neurons
500
This reflex is tested directly below the patella. Extension of the lower leg is the expected response.
What is the Quadriceps Reflex
500
This is the term for rapid, sudden jerking or a short series of jerks at fairly regular intervals.
What is Myoclonus
500
This is the term for loc state that the client is spontaneously unconscious, responds only to persistent & vigorous shaking or painful stimuli, has appropriate motor responses(withdraws hand to pain), can only goran, mumble, or move restlessly, reflexes are still intact.
