NS changes w/ AGING | \/ brain wt and neurons -- Alter Sleep/Wake rt -- \/ reg body temp -- \/ nerve impulses -- \/ blood supply to SC = \/ reflex | |
Neuro Assessment; Subjective and Objective | Hx -- Mental Status: PPTP, Gen Know, Mem, Attn, Concentrate, Aphasia -- DYSARTHIA | |
CT Scan and it's Nursing Managements | aka CAT Scan detect conditions of cerebrum and SC WITHOUT radioisotopes (Click Again) | // 30-60 lying still // Address Claustrophobia // Allergy to Iodine |
What are the LOC? | Alert, Disorientation, Stupor, Semicomatose, Comatose | |
Brain Scan and it's Nursing Managements | aka Echoencephalogram, like CT detect conditions of cerebrum except WITH radioisotope. (Click Again) | 45 min // IV Line |
MRI and it's Nursing Managements | aka Magnetic Resonance Imaging, uses magnetic forces to image body structures. Greater contrast than CT.(Click Again) | Remove ALL Metal/Jewelry / Assess for metal implants / Noisy |
PET and it's Nursing Managements | aka Positron Emission Tomography Scan, measure biochemistry process by glucose metalbolism. Pt recieves DEOXYGLUCOSE w/ radioactive FLOURINE. (Click Again) | IV Line / 45 min. lying still |
Lumbar Puncture Nursing Managements | 10-15 min procedure / Slight Pain|Pressure / Sharp Shoot Pain Down Leg / Pt lie flat for hours to prevent headaches | |
Electroencephalography and it's Nursing Managements | aka EEG provides evidence of focal/generalize disturbances of brain function (measure electrical activity)(Click Again) | Rest and Quiet prior, 1 hr procedure, Clean hair/scalp, Must rest after procedure |
CSF Normal Values | Spec Grav 1.007 / pH 7.35-7.45 / Glucose 50-70mg|dL / Gamma Globulin 6-13% tot protein / WBW 0-10 cells | |
Myelogram and Nursing Managements | Identify lesions in intradural or extradural using radiopaque dye. | 2 hrs to complete / Slight Discomfort / Diff. Positions / IV and Allergy checks / CT Scan after / Headache and NV common / Pt MUST rest after for FEW hours |
Angiography/Digital Subtraction Angiography and Nursing Managements | aka Cerebral Arteriography, visualize cerebral arterial systems by injecting radiopaque material. | NPO or Clear Fluids / Allergy / VS|Neuro Checks / 2-3 hrs procedure / Hot flush during inj / Bed Rest after procedure / High risk for CVA and|or IIP after |
Electromyography and Nursing Managements | aka EMG, measures contraction of muscle in response to electrical stimulation. | 45 min procedure / Discomfort when inserted and electrical current / Muscle Ache after / Asses Signs of Bleed / analgesia |
