condi1ions such as a s1roke. 3. Subdural hema1omas develop slowly because of being venous in origin. A describes epidural hema1omas no1 subdural hema1omas. Frac1ures are of1en absen1 wi1h subdural hema1omas, and subdural hema1omas do no1 resul1 from ar1erial damage. 4. A sudden, severe headache is an indica1ion of a cerebral aneurysm rup1ure. Transien1 numbness, 1ransien1 ver1igo, and 1inni1us are no1 usually associa1ed wi1h a cerebral aneurysm rup1ure. 5. Ischemic/1hrombic s1rokes are 1rea1ed wi1h 1hromboly1ic agen1s. Thromboly1ic agen1s would worsen hemorrhagic s1rokes. Al1hough 1hrombic s1rokes are more common 1han hemorrhagic, differen1ial diagnosis is crucial 1o posi1ive pa1ien1 ou1comes. 6. Ischemic/1hrombic s1rokes are 1he mos1 common 1ype, bu1 hemorrhagic s1rokes have 1he highes1 mor1ali1y ra1e. Transien1 or mini s1rokes are warning signs of an impending s1roke and indica1e a 1emporary al1era1ion in cerebral 1issue perfusion. 7. Respira1ory infec1ions, such as pneumonia and influenza, can resul1 in meningi1is especially in severe cases. Older adul1s are more likely 1o have severe cases of pneumonia and influenza. Increased men1al func1ioning, fluid in1ake, and exercise will no1 increase 1he risk of meningi1is bu1 will no1 necessarily decreases i1 ei1her. 8. A concussion refers 1o a momen1ary in1errup1ion of brain func1ion wi1h or wi1hou1 loss of consciousness. I1 does no1 usually involve bruising, bleeding, or damage of cerebral s1ruc1ures. 9. Wi1h accelera1ion-decelera1ion injuries, local injuries occur a1 each area of brain impac1 wi1h 1he skull on opposi1e sides. 10. General seizures involve 1he en1ire brain as opposed 1o focal or par1ial seizures 1ha1 involve one area. Any 1ype of seizures can be recurren1 or an isola1ed even1 depending on underlying e1iology. The presence of an aura and EEG changes can occur wi1h ei1her 1ype as well. 11. The pa1ien1 is experiencing s1a1us epilep1icus, which can cause severe hypoxia and aspira1ion. Rolling 1he pa1ien1 on 1heir side, pu11ing 1he head of bed in semi-fowlers, and applying an oxygen mask a1 10 L/min can minimize hypoxia and aspira1ion. Pu11ing any1hing in 1he pa1ien1’s mou1h and re1raining 1hem could cause fur1her injury and should be avoided. Calling 1he heal1h care provider for an order would likely be done, bu1 af1er 1hen o1her in1erven1ions had been comple1ed. 12. Absence seizures of1en presen1 as s1arring episodes, bu1 1he pa1ien1 may also experience some minor 1wi1ches. Simple focal seizures of1en presen1 as an unusual sensa1ion wi1hou1

a loss of consciousness. Myoclonic seizures cause jerking and 1wi1ching of 1he upper body, arms, or legs. Tonic-clonic seizures cause repe1i1ive s1iffening and jerking of 1he en1ire body. 13. Hun1ing1on’s disease of1en is confused wi1h psychia1ric disorder because i1 presen1s wi1h depression, an1isocial behavior, delusions, and hallucina1ions. Addi1ionally, balance and movemen1 issues are of1en seen. Seizures and Parkinson’s disease may resul1 in muscle movemen1 issues, 1here is no cogni1ive or psychological manifes1a1ions associa1ed wi1h 1hose condi1ions. Pick’s disease is a form of demen1ia, bu1 does no1 usually include movemen1 issues. 14. There are many 1heories regarding 1he origin of Alzheimer disease. Amyloid plague deposi1s in 1he brain is one of 1he more popular 1heories. Basal ganglia degenera1ion, fron1al lobe hyper1rophy, and aluminum deposi1s have no1 been implica1ed 1o da1e. 15. The only demen1ia lis1ed caused by an infec1ious agen1 is Creu1zfeld1-Jacob disease, which is caused by a prion. Pick’s disease and Hun1ing1on’s disease has a gene1ic quali1y, and Wernicke-Korsakoff's syndrome resul1s from long 1erm alcohol abuse. 16. Hun1ing1on’s disease is an au1osomal dominan1 disorder 1ha1 causes a mu1a1ion on chromosome 4. A describes mul1iple sclerosis. C describes a possible cause of Alzheimer’s disease. D describes amyo1rophic la1eral sclerosis. 17. Amyo1rophic la1eral sclerosis refers 1o degenera1ive changes of 1he upper and lower mo1or neurons of 1he cerebral cor1ex, brain s1em, and spinal cord. These changes resul1 in a progressive weakness and muscle a1rophy of1en of 1he upper ex1remi1ies. This does no1 occur wi1h Guillain-Barre syndrome, Parkinson’s disease, or hydrocephalus. 18. While all 1he manifes1a1ions lis1ed may occur wi1h hydrocephalus, bulging fon1anels is specific 1o infan1s. 19. Spinal shock refers 1o a 1emporary loss of reflec1 below 1he level of a spinal injury. This condi1ion is of1en a resul1 of inflamma1ion, and resolves as 1he inflamma1ion does. 20. Au1onomic dysreflexia refers 1o a s1a1e in which 1he sympa1he1ic nervous sys1em is 1riggered due 1o noxious s1imuli. This s1imula1ion resul1s in marked hyper1ension and bradycardia.
