Neuro Jeopardy

This is the nurses’s first priority when receiving an acute stroke patient for evaluation

This is the cerebral perfusion pressure if the ICP is 25, systolic BP is 110 and diastolic BP is 50.

The nurse should check these two lab tests for a seizure patient on carbamazepine (Tegretol)

These are the priorities of care for the patient with delirium

Patients with autonomic dysreflexia will complain of this symptom and these are the actions the nurse should take

Neurogenic shock results in these vital sign changes

This the MOA for cholinesterase inhibitors in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease

These nursing interventions will limit increases in intracranial pressure

This test is used to emergently differentiate ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke

This is the priority assessment for a patient with myasthenia gravis

This cardiac problem increases the risk of embolic stroke

This test is used to differentiate cholinergic and myasthenic crisis

These are the two most common causes of delirium

This is the priority assessment for the patient with Guillain-Barre Syndrome

This will be the earliest sign of ICP?

This cause of confusion should only be diagnosed after reversible causes have been ruled out

This drug is used to prevent secondary cord damage after acute spinal cord injury

Parkinson’s disease results from a deficiency of this neurotransmitter and is treated with this drug

This therapy can be given for ischemic stroke within 3 hours

This electrolyte abnormality will worse elevated ICP

This cause for confusion has an abrupt onset and altered LOC

The most significant risk factor for stroke

This disease results from demyelization in the brain and spinal cord

These are the two variables that effect CPP

This disease results in facial droop and a palsy of this cranial nerve
