NEURO TEST BANKS BRUNNER SUDDARTHS TEXTBOOK OF MEDICAL SURGICAL NURSINH 14TH EDITION CHAPTER 65
1. 1. A patient is brought to
the ER following a motor
vehicle accident in which
he sustained head trauma.
Preliminary assessment reveals a vision deficit in the
patients left eye. The nurse
should associate this
abnormal finding with trauma to which of the following
cerebral lobes?
A) Temporal
B) Occipital
C) Parietal
D) Frontal
B
Feedback:
The posterior lobe of the cerebral hemisphere
is responsible for visual interpretation. The
temporal lobe
contains the auditory receptive areas. The
parietal lobe contains the primary sensory
cortex, and is
essential to an individuals awareness of the
body in space, as well as orientation in space
and spatial
relations. The frontal lobe functions in concentration, abstract thought, information storage
or memory, and motor function.
2. 2. A patient scheduled for
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has arrived at the
radiology department. The
nurse who prepares the patient for the MRI should prioritize which of the following actions?
A) Withholding stimulants
24 to 48 hours prior to exam
B) Removing all metal-containing objects
C) Instructing the patient to
void prior to the MRI
D) Initiating an IV line for administration of contrast
B
Feedback:
Patient preparation for an MRI consists of removing all metal-containing objects prior to
the
examination. Withholding stimulants would
not affect an MRI; this relates to an electroencephalography
(EEG). Instructing the patient to void is patient
preparation for a lumbar puncture. Initiating an
IV line
for administration of contrast would be done if
the patient was having a CT scan with contrast.
3. 3. A gerontologic nurse
planning the neurologic assessment of an older adult
is considering normal, age
related changes. Of what
phenomenon should the
B
Feedback:
Reduction in cerebral blood flow (CBF) is
a change that occurs in the normal aging
process
