Aphasia Test 1

  1. Term for sudden onset is _______.
    Acute
  2. Term for gradual onset is ____________.
    Insidious (Progressive)
  3. Term that means deprived of blood
    Ischemic
  4. Term that means caused by bleeding
    Hemorrhagic
  5. What kind of stroke is sometimes called an occlusive stroke and results from loss of blood supply to an area due to blockage or diminished blood pressure?
    Ischemic CVA
  6. Deprivation for more than ________ minutes results in permanent damage.
    3 to 5
  7. What type of strokes occur in larger arteries typically in an area of increased turbulence (bends & bifurcations) where debris in the bloodstream tends to accumulate?
    Thrombotic CVA
  8. Term for narrowing
    Stenosis
  9. Open passageway in a blood vessel
    Lumen
  10. Blood clot that forms where fatty arteriosclerotic deposits have narrowed the lumen of the artery
    Thrombus
  11. What does F.A.S.T. stand for?
    • Face
    • Arm
    • Speech
    • Time
  12. What is inferred from the progression of clinical symptoms?
    Differentiation
  13. Which type of CVA has more of a gradual onset that tend to develop in an irregular "step-wise" progression of symptoms sometimes preceded by transient periods of ischemia (small strokes)?
    Thrombotic CVA
  14. What type of strokes are caused by a fragment of material from a remote site that travels through the circulatory system until it reaches an artery smaller than its own diameter where it lodges, occluding the artery?
    Embolic CVAs
  15. Which type of CVA has a sudden onset and warning sighns may be absent or almost undetectable?
    Embolic CVAs
  16. Area of damaged, necrotic tissue
    Infarct / Lesion
  17. Tissue that has died & is no longer viable
    Necrose
  18. What's the name of the CVA that is applied when it can't be determined whether the cause is thrombotic or embolic (embolus lodges in an artery narrowed by a thrombus)?
    Thromboembolic CVA
  19. Lack of oxygen in tissues that affect functioning ("Hungry")
    Ischemia (mini strokes)
  20. Brief period of diminished blood supply due to either a small embolus lodged temporarily or vasoconstriction of a thrombotic vessel that resolves completely w/in a few minutes-24 hrs.
    Transient Ischemic Attacks (TIA)
  21. TIA that lasts 24 to 72 hours but symptoms completely resolve
    Reversible Ischemic Neurological Deficit (RIND)
  22. TIA that lasts 24 hours to 7 days where symptoms only partially resolve
    Partially Reversible Ischemic Neurologic Deficits (PRIND)
