Packet 17 - Nervous System

Question 1

The maximum intensity or duration of pain that a person is willing to endure. Different depending on individual.

1. ) Hemi-inattention / Hemineglect
2. ) Pain threshold
3. ) Pain tolerance
4. ) Poikilothermia
5. ) Status epilepticus

Answer 1

Pain tolerance

The maximum intensity or duration of pain that a person is willing to endure.

Different depending on individual.

Question 2

Seizures don’t stop on their own OR they occur one after the other with no break in between. If this happens for a long time it’s a medical emergency!

1. ) Hemi-inattention / Hemineglect
2. ) Pain threshold
3. ) Pain tolerance
4. ) Poikilothermia
5. ) Status epilepticus

Answer 2

Status epilepticus

Seizures don’t stop on their own OR they occur one after the other with no break in between.

If this happens for a long time it’s a medical emergency!

Question 3

Intensity at which stimuli is perceived as painful. Similar from person to person.

1. ) Hemi-inattention / Hemineglect
2. ) Pain threshold
3. ) Pain tolerance
4. ) Poikilothermia
5. ) Status epilepticus

Answer 3

Pain threshold

Intensity at which stimuli is perceived as painful.

Similar from person to person.

Question 4

Altered thermoregluation r/t spinal cord injury. Body temperature is the same as the environments, can’t constrict and vasodilate.

1. ) Hemi-inattention / Hemineglect
2. ) Pain threshold
3. ) Pain tolerance
4. ) Poikilothermia
5. ) Status epilepticus

Answer 4

Poikilothermia

Altered thermoregluation r/t spinal cord injury.

Body temperature is the same as the environments, can’t constrict and vasodilate.

Question 5

After damage to one hemisphere of the brain is sustained, a deficit in attention to and awareness of one side of space is observed. It is defined by the inability of a person to process and perceive stimuli on one side of the body or environment that is not due to a lack of sensation.

1. ) Hemi-inattention / Hemineglect
2. ) Pain threshold
3. ) Pain tolerance
4. ) Poikilothermia
5. ) Status epilepticus

Answer 5

Hemi-inattention / Hemineglect

After damage to one hemisphere of the brain is sustained, a deficit in attention to and awareness of one side of space is observed.

It is defined by the inability of a person to process and perceive stimuli on one side of the body or environment that is not due to a lack of sensation.
