301 Test 2 muscle skeletal Flashcards
At times, you will assess the musculoskeletal system and the ____ system together
neurological
Musculoskeletal Assessment: Ask clients if they have had previous problems with falls, fractures, trauma, or ___ deficit.
neurological

Immobility
Orthostatic hypotension can be caused by
Immobility
Renal calculi can be caused by
Immobility
Paralytic ileus can be caused by
Immobility
Urinary tract infection can be caused by
Immobility
Obstruction of the intestine due to paralysis of the intestinal muscles
Paralytic ileus
NDX with the external related factors: chemical substance, extremes in age, hyperthermia, hypothermia, moisture, medications, radiation
impaired skin integrity
NDX with the internal related factors: change in fluid status, change in pigment, change in turgor, immunological deficit, impaired metabolic state
impaired skin integrity
NDX defining characteristic: invasion of body structures
impaired skin integrity
If the patient has no neural complaints, it acceptable to
only check if they’re alter and oriented
If patient has neural issues, the first question you ask is
do they have a headache
A headache could signify
increased cranial pressure which could lead to stroke
numbness and tingling could mean the pt is having a
stroke
if patient has numbness and tingling next step is to assess
motor ability
difficulty or discomfort in swallowing
dysphagia
cranial nerve, most EOM movement
oculomotor
cranial nerve, opening eyelids
oculomotor
cranial nerve, pupil constriction/lens shape
oculomotor
cranial nerve, down and outward eye movement
trochlear
cranial nerve, lateral eye movement
abducens
cranial nerve, chewing
trigeminal
cranial nerve, sensation in face, scalp, cornea
trigeminal
cranial nerve, sensation in mucous membrane and mouth and nose
trigeminal
cranial nerve, close eye
facial
cranial nerve, labial speech, close mouth
facial
cranial nerve, taste in front of tongue
facial
cranial nerve, saliva and tear secretion
facial
cranial nerve, swallowing
glossopharyngeal, vagus
cranial nerve, gag reflex/taste in back of tongue
glossopharyngeal
cranial nerve, movement of tongue
hypoglossal
optic disc swelling that is caused by increased intracranial pressure
papilledema
PERRLA tests which cranial nerve
Oculomotor
PERRLA
Pupils are equal, round, reactive to light, accommodate
which cranial nerve is tested by asking the patient to clench teeth and then you try to open them
trigeminal (which does chewing)
which cranial nerve is test when you do light touch on the person’s face
trigeminal (sensation in the face)
which cranial nerve is tested when you ask the person to smile, frown, etc
facial (face muscles)
which cranial nerves are tested when you depress with tongue blade and ask the person to say Ahh
glossopharyngeal and vagus
When a person says Ahh the soft palate and uvula should rise in the midline and the tonsil pillars should move
medially
which nerve is tested when you ask the patient to forcefully turn their head
spinal
which nerve is tested when you ask the person to stick out their tongue or say “light tight dynamite”
hypoglossal (does tongue movement)
being unable to see might be a precursor to
MS
when you shine the light on one eye, the other should constrict too, this is called
consensual constriction
when looking at an object that’s far away, your eyes
dilate
characterized by severe pain in the cheek. Cause can be unknown or can be from facial radiation
Trigeminal neuralgia
acoustic nerve problems often have to do with a
tumor
if someone has a hearing nerve problem, it involves the nerve on the same side as the ear (aka it’s ___)
ipsilateral
for peripheral neuropathy and diabetes, test with light, random touch. Do not use
strokes
“as part of a neuro exam I’m going to ask you to identify some objects with your eyes closed”
stereogenesis
If someone can identify an object they are stereogenesis ___
positive
In scales, what number usually indicates normal
2
reflex that’s normal from 2 1/2 months to 2 1/2 years
babinski
in the babinski reflex the toes
extend

1 to 6
glascow verbal is a scale of what to what
1 to 5
glascow opens eye spontaneous
4
glascow opens eye to speech
