A tool used to assess the level of consciousness rapidly.

Normal ICP is about 12-15 mmHg; indicates brain health.

Elevating the head of the bed 30 degrees helps reduce ICP.

Clear nasal drainage may indicate CSF; check for glucose.

A sign of severe brain injury; arms extended, toes downward.

CPP = MAP - ICP; normal range is 70-100 mmHg.

Restlessness is an early sign of increased ICP.

A stroke affecting the right side of the brain, leading to impulsive behavior.

Use yes or no questions to facilitate communication with clients suffering from expressive aphasia.

Damage to the cerebellum often results in balance impairment following a stroke.

Parkinson's disease can be confirmed by the relief of symptoms after dopaminergic agents are administered.

Levodopa is a precursor of dopamine and is converted to dopamine in the brain, used in treating Parkinson's disease.

Bradycardia indicates a sign of neurogenic shock in spinal cord injury.

A throbbing headache can indicate persistent autonomic dysreflexia.

Ineffective airway clearance is the highest priority diagnosis for C5 injury.

Headache and rising blood pressure suggest possible autonomic dysreflexia.

Urinary catheterization is an expected intervention for autonomic dysreflexia.

A 15-year-old with C7 spinal cord injury is at high risk for autonomic dysreflexia.

Assess blood pressure when a T3 spinal cord injury patient reports a headache.

Position patient upright with legs lowered in case of autonomic dysreflexia symptoms.

Causes include distended bladder, pressure injury, fecal impaction, and urinary tract infection.

Patient moves hand to face when supraorbital notch is pressed.

Lumbar puncture is not allowed with increased intracranial pressure.

A set of symptoms indicating increased ICP; includes high BP, bradycardia, and irregular respiratory rate.

Auscultation of lung sounds is critical to assess respiratory function.

Continued evidence of spinal cord compression necessitates early surgery.

Bradycardia is a key sign of neurogenic shock in acute SCI patients.

Educate patients with paraplegia about the prescribed bowel program's purpose.

Generalized seizures involve the whole brain with bilateral discharges; focal seizures affect localized areas.

Childhood seizure type characterized by brief staring spells known as petit mal seizures.

Includes motor behaviors, altered memory, sensations, and impaired consciousness.

Includes headache, sweating, paleness, hypertension, slow heart rate, and blurry vision.

Exaggerated reflex by the parasympathetic nervous system causing severe hypertension.

MRI is the preferred diagnostic test for suspected ligament injuries to the spinal cord.

Results from loss of autonomic nervous system regulation causing vasodilation.

Keeping the patient's spine immobilized is crucial.

Venous pooling from vasodilation can lead to DVT; avoid placing a pillow under knees.

Responses accessed include spontaneous, sound, pressure, and tone.

Check, observe, stimulate, and rate are key steps.

Patient's eyes open spontaneously denotes alertness.

Record as NT when eyes are swollen and can't be opened.
