Question 1

The patient with a brain concussion experienced vertigo to the extent that he was unaware of his surroundings and unable to respond to stimuli. He was in a state of

Accepted Answer

The patient's inability to be aware of his surroundings and respond to stimuli indicates a loss of consciousness, making option A the correct choice. Option C (disorientation) and option D (incoherence) suggest that the patient is conscious and able to respond to some degree, which is not the case here.

Question 2

A young Marine returned home after two tours of combat with symptoms that included anxiety, sleep disturbance, nightmares, difficulty concentrating, and depression. The physician diagnosed his condition as

Accepted Answer

The symptoms described are characteristic of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which can occur after exposure to a traumatic event(s) such as combat. Schizophrenia is a severe and chronic mental disorder that typically presents with symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions. Phobia refers to an excessive and irrational fear of a specific object, situation, or activity that is out of proportion to the actual danger. Somatoform disorders are characterized by physical symptoms that cannot be fully explained by a relevant medical condition, and they are not consistent with recognized neurological or other medical conditions.

Question 4

The cerebrospinal fluid is abbreviated as

Accepted Answer

CSF stands for cerebrospinal fluid.

Question 5

Which of the following is the abbreviation for a common psychiatric disorder characterized by intrusive, unwanted thoughts that result in performing repetitive acts?

Accepted Answer

OCD stands for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, which is a common psychiatric disorder characterized by intrusive, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) that result in performing repetitive acts (compulsions). PTSD stands for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, which is a different disorder characterized by symptoms following exposure to a traumatic event. ALS stands for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, which is a neurological disease affecting motor function. MS stands for Multiple Sclerosis, which is another neurological disease affecting the nervous system.

Question 7

The emergency department physician diagnosed the patient with ischemic stroke caused by a blood clot lodged in the cerebral artery, or a

Accepted Answer

The key phrase in the sentence is "caused by a blood clot lodged in the cerebral artery," which indicates that the diagnosis is a cerebral embolism. A cerebral aneurysm involves the weakening of the blood vessel wall, cerebral palsy is a neurological disorder present since birth, and cerebral angiography is a diagnostic test to visualize blood vessels in the brain, but it does not provide a diagnosis.

Question 8

The newborn had meninges protruding through a defect in his skull, or a(n)

Accepted Answer

The description of the newborn's condition is consistent with a meningocele, which is a type of neural tube defect where the meninges protrude through a congenital defect in the skull, but the brain tissue does not herniate through the opening. A myelomeningocele involves both the meninges and the spinal cord protruding through a defect in the vertebrae. Myelomalacia and encephalomalacia refer to softening of the spinal cord and brain tissue, respectively, and do not involve protrusion of the meninges.

Question 9

The abbreviation for a sudden deficient supply of blood to the brain lasting a short time is

Accepted Answer

TIA stands for Transient Ischemic Attack, which is a sudden deficient supply of blood to the brain lasting a short time (usually a few minutes to an hour) and is often considered a warning sign for a future stroke. CVA stands for Cerebrovascular Accident, which is more commonly known as a stroke. CP stands for Cerebral Palsy, which is a neurological disorder that affects movement and posture. ALS stands for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, which is a progressive degenerative disease that affects the nerve cells responsible for controlling muscles.

Question 10

The progression or treatment of multiple sclerosis may be measured by a group of diagnostic tests that measure changes and responses in brainwaves elicited by stimuli called

Accepted Answer

Evoked potential studies are specifically designed to measure changes in brainwave activity in response to sensory stimulation. This makes them a useful tool in assessing changes in the nervous system, including those associated with multiple sclerosis. While EEG, PET, and MRI scans can also provide valuable diagnostic information, they are less useful for tracking changes over time or in response to specific stimuli.

Question 14

Which of the following is an eating disorder?

Accepted Answer

Bulimia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by binge eating followed by purging behaviors such as vomiting, excessive exercise, or the use of laxatives. Anxiety disorder and phobia are types of mental disorders, while autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder.

Question 15

To determine the cause of the patient's severe back pain, the doctor ordered a diagnostic test to record images of the spinal cord after an injection of a contrast agent into the subarachnoid space. This process is called

Accepted Answer

The diagnostic test that involves injecting a contrast agent into the subarachnoid space to produce images of the spinal cord is called a CT myelography. Positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging do not involve injecting a contrast agent into the subarachnoid space, and evoked potential studies are used to measure nerve function, not to produce images.
