Spinal Cord Injuries
General
100
This cranial nerve is purely sensory and transmits the sense of smell from the nasal cavity.
What is Cranial Nerve I, The Olfactory?
100
This is consists of the nerves and ganglia outside of the brain and spinal cord. Its main function is to connect the CNS to the limbs and organs. It is not protected by the bone of spine and skull, or by the blood–brain barrier, leaving it exposed to toxins and mechanical injuries. It is divided into the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system
What is the Peripheral Nervous System?
100
Functions include functions, metabolism, growth and development , tissue  function, sleep , and mood by glands which secrete  hormones directly into the bloodstream.
What is The Endocrine System?
100
This is caused by trauma instead of disease.  Depending on where the damage is, the symptoms can vary widely, from pain to paralysis to incontinence.
What is a Spinal Cord Injury?
100
The viral course of this has a shorter course than the bacterial version and is self limiting. Is be very contagious and patient must be placed in airborne isolation.
What is Meningitis?
200
This purely sensory nerve transmits visual signals from the retina of the eye to the brain.
What is Cranial Nerve II The Optic Nerve?
200
This controls HR, BP, RESP, cough, swallow and emesis.
What is the Medulla?
200
This occurs when the result of a process influences the operation of the process itself in such a way as to reduce changes. It tends to make a system self-regulating; it can produce stability and reduce the effect of fluctuations. Has been compared to a home's thermostat.
What is The Negative Feedback System?
200
This type of spinal cord injury involves preservation of motor or sensory function below the level of injury in the spinal cord. This second type means a total loss of function below the level of injury. The second type frequently means that the patient has little hope of functional recovery.
What is an Incomplete Injury and a Complete Injury?
200
These manifestations; Headache, Photophobia, High fever, N & V, Nuchal rigidity (stiff neck), Restlessness, Irritability, Confusion, Seizures, Altered LOC, Altered Vital Signs are similar in two diseases.
What are Meningitis and Encephalitis?
300
This nerve is both sensory and motor. Supplies motor innervation to most laryngeal and pharyngeal muscles. Also provides parasympathetic fibers to nearly all thoracic and abdominal organs down to the splenic flexure. Receives the special sense of taste from the epiglottis. A major function: controls muscles for voice and resonance and the soft palate.
What is Cranial Nerve X, The Vagus Nerve.
300
This is high in glucose, low in WBC's and had no RBC's. It is created by the Ventricles in the Brain. It protects the brain from striking the cranium when the head is jolted. Provides buoyancy and support to the brain against gravity and involves nutrient exchange and waste removal.
What is Cerebrospinal Fluid, CSF?
300
This stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroxine (T4 and then T3) which stimulates the metabolism of almost every tissue in the body. It a hormone secreted by  anterior pituitary gland, which regulates the endocrine function of the thyroid gland.
What is Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, TSH?
300
Common causes of spinal cord injuries are these, and occur more than 80 % to them.
What is motor vehicle accidents, falls, work-related accidents, sports injuries, and penetrations such as stab or gunshot wounds. More than 80% of the spinal cord injury patients are men.
300
This viral inflammation of the brain and spinal can range from mild to causing death. It is not transmitted between people.
What is Encephalitis?
400
Provides motor innervation to the muscles of the tongue and is important for swallowing and speech articulation.
What is Cranial Nerve XII, The Hypoglossal Nerve?
400
Depression, Confusion, Memory Loss, Slower Movements and Reflexes, Sleep Disorders, Pain Perception Misinterpreted, Presbyopia, Ptosis, Decreased tear production, Cataracts, Glaucoma, Macular Degeneration Presbycusis-High frequency sound loss are examples of this.
What is Age Related changes in the Older Adult?
400
This is used to determine the size, shape and position of the thyroid gland while this is used to evaluate the function of the gland.
What is the Thyroid Scan and the Radioactive Iodine Uptake Test?
400
Manifestations of this and treatment is as follows: HTN, Pounding headache, Flushed, Diaphoretic above lesion, Cold, Pale, Dry below lesion, Goosebumps, Anxiety, Possible seizures, CVA, Death Treatment: Elevate HOB to Decrease B/P Antihypertensive meds and Monitor BP Q 2-3 minutes Check bladder, Foley Patency, Straight Cath if Necessary, Remove Fecal Impaction
What is Autonomic Dysreflexia?
400
In this, as fats are broken down, ketones build up in the blood and urine. In high levels, ketones are poisonous. To combat this the liver makes glucose to try to combat the problem raising glocose levels dangerously high. However, the cells cannot pull in that glucose without insulin. This is often the first sign of type 1 diabetes in people who do not yet have other symptoms.
What is Diabetic Ketoacidosis, DKA?
500
Provides motor innervation to the muscles of facial expression, also receives the special sense of taste from the anterior 2/3 of the tongue and provides innervation to the salivary glands and the lacrimal gland.
What is Cranial Nerve VII, The Facial Nerve?
500
Eye opening, motor and verbal response put to a numeric scale and interpreted is this.
What is The Glascow Coma Scale?
500
Hypothyroidism is treated with this, a medicine that improves symptoms such as slow speech, lack of energy, weight gain, hair loss, dry skin, and feeling cold. It also helps to treat goiter. Both synthetic and animal-derived tablets are available and can be prescribed for patients. It is taken daily, and doctors can monitor blood levels to help assure proper dosing.
What is Synthroid, Levothyroxine?
500
Allowing the patient to do self cares, be active in rehab and have good mobility, this type of stabilization is the preferred method.
What is Halo Vest?
500
This is what everyone will do on this Test.
