Exam 2 Flashcards
- Coordination of movement, speech, and senses
- Balance and coordination
Cerebellum
Visual stimuli and sense of light
Occipital lobe
- Emotions, reasoning, abstractions, and concentration
- Voluntary eye movement
- Brucas area of motor control of speech
- Storage of info
Frontal lobe
Integrate sensory information
Parietal lobe
- Interpretation of smells, sounds, and language
- Critical for language comprehension
Temporal lobe
Controls involuntary behavior: Breathing, Heart rate, Coughing, Sleeping, and Consciousness
Brain Stem
Cardiac, digestion, vasomotor, and respiratory system
Medulla Oblongata
Respiratory function
Pons
Auditory and visual reflexes
Midbrain
Pain, paresthesia, nervousness, dizziness, nausea, vertigo, changes in vision
Subjective data in Neurological system
See pt vomiting, lack of motor coordination, change in strength
Objective data in the Neurological system
- Smell
- Identify odors with closed eyes
CN I: Olfactory nerve (sensory)
- Vision
- Use snellen chart to test visual acuity
CN II: Optic nerve (sensory)
- Eye movement and pupillary reaction
- 6 cardinal fields of vision
CN III: Oculomotor nerve (motor)
Eye movement up and down, in and out
CN IV: Trochlear nerve (motor)
Face sensation and mastication
CN V: Trigeminal nerve (motor and sensory)
Eye movement laterally (side to side)
CN VI: Abducens nerve (motor)
- Facial muscles and taste
- Smile, raise eyebrows, and detect various taste
CN VII: Facial nerve (motor and sensory)
- Hearing and balance
- use of tuning fork and whisper test; spin them and see them walk
CN VIII: Vestibulocochlear nerve (sensory)
- Swallowing, voice, and gag reflex
- Use tongue depression tool
CN IX: Glossopharyngeal nerve (motor and sensory)
Speaking and swallowing
CN X: Vagus nerve (motor and sensory)
- Contracting muscles of shoulder and neck
- Shrug against resistance
CN XI: Spinal Accessory nerve (motor)
Tongue movement, move it from side to side
CN XII: Hypoglossal nerve (motor)
Test to check for allergies, renal function, and if they take metformin (with contrast)
- visualize/assess internal organs/structures
Computed Tomography (CT)
Test to assess electrical activity in the brain, where you put electro in head
Electroencephalogram (EEG)
Test to check for allergies, renal function, metformin, and ask for consent from pt
- differential diagnosis of infection or hemorrhage of brain
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
- Risk of infection or hemorrhage
- Normal finding: clear and colorless fluid
- Assess and observe puncture site for bleeding, CSF leakage, and hematoma formation
- Need formal consent
- After procedure, position pt flat and maintain for 8hrs
Lumbar puncture
FAST stand for?
- Face drooping
- Arm weakness
- Speech
- Time to call for 911
Drowsiness; tired and lack of energy
Lethargy
Decrease muscle tone
Hypotonia
Increase muscle tone
Hypertonia
Muscles contracted and tense
Rigidity
Increase motor tone
Spasticity
Loss of muscle tone and strength to one side of the body
Hemiparesis
Loss of motor and sensory function in lower extremities
Paraplegic
