Multidimensional Care IV Exam 3, Exams of Nursing

A comprehensive study guide or exam review for a course on multidimensional care, covering a wide range of topics related to various neurological and medical conditions. It includes detailed information on symptoms, interventions, diagnostic tests, and pathophysiology for conditions such as myasthenia gravis, parkinson's disease, seizures, stroke, spinal cord injury, heat-related illnesses, and more. The document seems to be structured in a question-and-answer format, with numbered sections covering different aspects of these conditions. It could be a valuable resource for students preparing for an exam or seeking to deepen their understanding of these complex medical topics.

The behavior is inappropriate for the situation. Patients are usually amnestic to their automatisms. complex/automatism seizure seizure phase Prodomal Seizure phase post ictal tonic-clonic seizure (grand mal) 6. stereotactic pallidotomy- destroy a portion of the globus pallidus, and thereby, decrease patients' muscle rigidity from Parkinson's disease DBS-uses electrical stimulation to modulate these control centers deep to the surface of the brain, improving communication between brain cells.

It is sometimes referred to as a "pacemaker for the brain." A stimulator device is implanted under the skin in the chest. A wire from the device is wound around the vagus nerve in the neck. Brain resection/corpus callosotomy-palliative surgical procedure for the treatment of medically refractory epilepsy. In this procedure the corpus callosum is cut through in an effort to limit the spread of epileptic activity between the two halves of the brain.

It's the time from the first symptom to the end of the seizure activity. It is during this time that intense electrical activity is occurring in the brain. Some common signs of this phase include: Loss of awareness Memory lapse Felling confused Difficulty hearing Odd smells, sounds or tastes Difficulty speaking or saying strange words Twitching Loss of muscle control Repeated movements (such as lip smacking or chewing) Body convulsions Racing heart Trouble breathing Frostbite degrees Seizure surgcial management Tonic Seizure seizure phase ictal 45. muscles suddenly become limp.

During the this stage some people can tell when a seizure is on its way. They may notice some early signs hours or even days before the seizure starts. Not all people experience this stage.
