Mental Health Nursing Neurologic Coup-Contrecoup Injury Test Id: 52191858 Question Id: 32261 (729561) 1 of 13 A A A A speeding driver sustained a closed-head injury in an acceleration/decelerat... ion accident from striking a tree front end first. Based on the coup-contrecoup phenomenon, which assessments are most likely to be affected related to the involved areas of the brain? Unordered Options Ordered Response 1. Expressive speech, vision 2. Light touch, hearing 3. Sense of position, graphesthesia 4. Weber tuning fork test, cranial nerve I You answered this question correctly. Time Spent: 41 Seconds 69% of people answered this question correctly. Last Updated: 1/29/2016 Explanation Coup-contrecoup injury occurs when a body in motion stops suddenly (eg, head hits car windshield), causing contusions (bruising) of brain tissue as the brain moves back and forth within the skull. First, the soft tissue strikes the hard skull in the same direction as the momentum (coup). As the body bounces back, the brain strikes the opposing side of the skull (contrecoup). When the forward collision occurred, the frontal lobe most likely suffered the primary impact (coup). Executive function, memory, speech (Broca area), and voluntary movement are controlled by the frontal lobe. The contrecoup most likely injured the occipital lobe, where vision is processed. (Option 2) The temporal lobe (lateral aspect of the brain) controls hearing and integrates sensory data (eg, auditory, visual, somatic). The Wernicke speech area in the temporal lobe is responsible for language comprehension. Light touch is processed by the sensory cortex in the parietal lobe. (Option 3) An interruption of sensory function indicates injury to either the spinal column or the parietal lobe. These injuries affect proprioception (awareness of body positioning) and graphesthesia (ability to identify writing on the skin, by touch). (Option 4) The Weber test screens for conductive hearing loss by checking whether a tuning fork held along the midline of the head is heard evenly in both ears. Cranial nerve I is the olfactory nerve. Hearing and smell are both processed by the temporal lobe. Educational objective: Coup-contrecoup injuries usually affect the frontal and occipital lobes. The frontal lobe controls executive function, memory, speech, and motor skills. The occipital lobe processes vision. Mental Health Concepts Characteristics Of ADHD Test Id: 52191858 Question Id: 31967 (729561) 2 of 13 A A A The student nurse is performing an assessment of a 10-year-old diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In addition to the 3 core symptoms of ADHD (hyperactivity, impulsiveness, and inattention), which of the following would the student nurse expect to find during the assessment? Unordered Options Ordered Response 1. Confusion and a learning disability 2. Delayed physical and emotional development 3. Disorientation and cognitive impairment 4. Low self-esteem and impaired social skills You answered this question correctly. Time Spent: 19 Seconds 49% of people answered this question correctly. Last Updated: 12/20/2015 Explanation The core symptoms of ADHD include hyperactivity, impulsiveness, and inattention. Hyperactive children are restless; have difficulty remaining seated when required; and exhibit excessive talking, blurting out answers prematurely, and interrupting others. Inattention is characterized by reduced ability to focus and attention to detail, easy distractibility, and failure to follow through (eg, homework, chores). The primary symptoms of ADHD have a negative impact and can make life difficult for children in school, at work, and in social situations. Symptoms interfere with opportunities to acquire social skills and may also result in rejection and critical judgment by peers. The negative consequences of ADHD include:  Poor self-esteem  Increased risk for depression and anxiety  Increased risk for substance abuse  Academic or work failure  Trouble interacting with peers and adults (Option 1) Children with ADHD are more likely to have a learning disability. Confusion is not a typical clinical finding. (Option 2) Although children with ADHD may appear to be emotionally immature for their age, ADHD is not associated with delayed physical growth. (Option 3) Children with ADHD are not disoriented. ADHD is associated with a range of cognitive impairments, but no single cognitive dysfunction typifies all children with the disorder. Some children have no impairment at all. Educational objective: The diagnosis of ADHD includes the presence of hyperactivity, impulsiveness, and inattention. The negative consequences of the core manifestations include impaired social skills, poor self-esteem, academic or work failure, increased risk for depression and anxiety, and increased risk for substance abuse. Mental Health Concepts ADHD Combined Type - Characteristics Test Id: 52191858 Question Id: 31965 (729561) 3 of 13 A A A The registered nurse is counseling the parent of a child recently diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), combined type. Which statement by the parent requires an intervention? Unordered Options Ordered Response 1. "I should offer a choice between 2 things for my child's clothes or meals." 2. "I will need to advocate for an individualized educational plan for my child." 3. "My child will outgrow this disorder around age 20." 4. "When talking with my child, I should not be multi-tasking."
