A patient is brought into the emergency room showing symptoms such as dropping
mouth and slurred speech. The doctor suspects a stroke and immediately arranges a
computerized tomography (CT) scan of the patient's head to aid diagnostics. Discuss
why the doctor may have suggested a CT scan over magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI). Describe in detail the physical basis of CT.
The next day after the patient has been hospitalized the doctor decides to have a MRI
to complement the diagnosis. Name one advantage of MRI compared to CT. Describe
in detail the physical basis of MRI.
The are two main types of stroke: ischemic, caused by a lack of blood flow and
hemorrhagic, due to bleeding. On the basis of the CT scan, discuss how each type of
stroke would appear in the CT scan.
Since the patient has hypercholesterolemia and reported pain in the left arm during

The client is alert but has been instructed to minimize movement to prevent post-surgical complications. In addition to monitoring for the usual postoperative signs such as infection or bleeding, which technique should the nurse use to reposition the client to promote comfort and prevent injury safely? A. Logroll the client carefully to maintain spinal alignment, ensuring that the head, back, and legs move as one unit. B. Assist the client to dangle on the side of the bed before standing to promote circulation and reduce the risk of orthostatic hypotension. C. Encourage the client to use an overhead trapeze when self-repositioning to enhance independence and strengthen upper body muscles. D.

- What is the primary difference between spinal and epidural anesthesia? The primary difference between spinal and epidural anesthesia is the site of a ministration of the anesthetic agent. The position of the patient and the skin injection site are similar. With spinal anesthesia, the medication injected directly into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the subarachnoid space between the meningeal layers of the spinal cord. With epidural anesthesia, the medication is injected into the tissues directly above the dura mater, where are the agent is then absorbed into the CSF.arrow_forwardwhat to do and ask in a neurological assessmentarrow_forwardWhen transcribing the neurologic review of systems, you hear the following sentence: "No dizziness, seizures, or (aphagia/aphasia)."
