Motor & Sensory
Decorticate posturing is also known as this abnormal motor response.
What is abnormal flexion?
The keyboard shortcut to open Epic Patient Lists.
What is Ctrl + Shift + 2?
Consciousness depends on these two components.
What are arousal and awareness?
Pupillary response depends on cranial nerves II and this nerve.
What is Cranial Nerve III (Oculomotor)?
A seizure lasting more than this long is considered status epilepticus.
What is 5 minutes?
Decerebrate posturing is also known as this motor response.
What is abnormal extension?
This check must be completed every shift and with admissions.
What is the Required Documentation (Req Doc) check?
This brainstem structure controls arousal.
What is the Reticular Activating System (RAS)?
NPI values greater than this number indicate reactive pupils.
What is 3?
This phase of a seizure includes confusion and sleepiness.
What is the postictal phase?
This reflex — flexion of ankle, knee, and hip — indicates severe brainstem damage.
What is triple flexion?
The Brain does NOT automatically generate tasks for this type of follow-up.
What is lab value follow-up (or IV tubing changes/orders)?
A GCS score of this or less is commonly defined as coma.
What is 7?
A difference in NPI of this value or greater is abnormal.
What is 0.7?
During a seizure, you should NOT place this in the patient’s mouth.
What is anything/object (or airway device unless clinically indicated)?
Sensory testing should proceed from this type of area to this type of area.
What is from least sensation to most sensation?
Head-to-toe assessments must be documented within this timeframe after admission.
What is within 4 hours?
If a GCS is 5 or less, you must call this organization.
What is OPO (Organ Procurement Organization)?
A dilated pupil usually indicates an expanding lesion on this side.
What is the ipsilateral side?
If a seizure occurs during cEEG, you should press this.
What is the alert button?
Cervical levels C3, C4, and C5 control this critical function.
What is diaphragm/respiration?
Vital signs may be documented within this window around the top of the hour.
What is 15 minutes before to 15 minutes after?
When assessing motor response for GCS, you document this side’s response.
What is the best response?
These cranial nerves control extraocular movements together.
What are Cranial Nerves III, IV, and VI?
This type of status epilepticus has no visible jerking but prolonged unconsciousness.
What is non-convulsive status epilepticus?
