Question | Answer |
---|---|
Gunshot wound | open brain injury |
TBI pt. early stage interventions | provide positioning, prevent contraction. Establish baseline |
Symptoms found in TBI pt. but not generally CVA | combative behavior |
Pt. heightened state of activity, decreased processing, non purposeful aggressive behavior | Level IV |
Pt. robotic, requires structure/supervision, family to fill in gaps of memory | VII |
Pt. reacts inconsistently and non purposefully to stimuli, delayed reactions, recommend family to | simplify vocab and talk slow |
Assesses consciousness/ motor response, verbal response, eye open, no response 3-15 | Glasco coma scale |
Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation is multisensory, it uses all but | vestibular |
Walker ambulation | walker/affected/non-affected |
Cognitive challenges, pt. diagnosed with TBI experiences | decrease attn. and concentration, impaired memory, impaired initiation. (no decrease of functional endurance) |
Cognitive retraining may include | engagement in familiar activities or computer activities. |
Objectives for OT functional goal are | functional, measurable, observable. |
Anterior Cord Syndrome | paralysis, loss of pain and touch sensation |
Heterotopic ossification 9ectopic bone) | development of bone in abnormal anatomical locations |
Autonomic Dysreflexia is probably in a pt who sustained | cervical and high thoracic lesions |
Spasticity os opposite of | flaccidity |
Tetraplegia | paralysis of all extremity |
degree of paralysis that affects trunk, four limbs, and pelvic organ function | tetraplegia |
pounding headache, anxiety, perspiration, flushing, chills, goosebumps, HTN | autonomic disreflexia |
w/c positioning begins with | pelvis |
transfer to EOB, pt. C/O dizziness and looks pale | orthostatic hypotension |
What to do for orthostatic hypotension pt. if they are dizzy | lay back down |
Pt. has complete C7 SCI, tx strategies will include | education AE for ADLs, ecplore education and leisure, fitting for manual w/c, (no LE strengthening) |
Eventually, C7 pt will perform | elbow extension, transfer I bed to w/c, drive to P.O., ( no develop fine motor skills c intrinsic muscles. |
Lowest SC level of injury c portable respirator | C3 |
No portable respirator, No manual w/c, d/c to private residents | C4 |
