Chapter 19: Alterations of neurologic function in children Flashcards
T/F: childhood seizures are not well organized
T
T/F: The cause of most childhood bacterial meningitis is H influenza type B
F
T/F: Progressive encephalopathy in HIV infection can be monitored by the CD8 T lymphocyte count
T
T/F: Environmental influences play an important role in neural tube defects
T
T/F: approximately 60% of retinoblastomas are caused by mutations in the RB1 gene
F
T/F: Neurologic function at birth is chiefly at the subcortical level
T
T/F: The prognosis for an individual with meningocele depends on the level and extent of the defect
T
T/F: Hydrocephaly may be due to overproduction of CSF, blockage of CSF flow or inhibition of reabsorption
T
T/F: In tay-sachs disease, the changes in the spinal cord occur in the motor cells
T
T/F: Seizure disorders in children are usually static and resolve naturally, because the neurons and the neuronal pathways are constantly maturing
F
T/F: an obvious sac on the back of a newborn should be thoroughly probed and examined to determine where it is attached to underlying structures.
