| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 4 types of cerebral palsy | spastic, dyskinetic/ athetoid, ataxic, mised |
| spastic cerebral palsy | cerebral cortex- one or both side |
| dyskinetic/ athetoid | basal ganglia- purposeless, involuntary movement (temors and drooling) |
| ataxic | cerebellum- coordination & equilibrium (unstable, wide gait) |
| mixed | spastic & athetosis |
| diplegia | lower extremeties involved (upper --> normal) |
| quadriplegia | all extremeties equally involved (can't use crutches) |
| unilateral hemiplegia | one side; upper > lower (like a stroke) |
| cerebral palsy | abnormal development or damage to motor areas of the brain |
| homonymous hemianopsia | inability to see toward effected side |
| muscular dystrophy | inherited x linked disorder |
| gowers sign | can't pop up from squat (w/ Duchenne's) |
| what disease has a problem with short term memory | muscular dystrophy |
| what happens if ventricle size decreases too quickly? | cerebral cortex pulls away from dura --> subdural hematoma --> so decrease HOB gradually |
| s/s of shunt problems | most likely in 1st year; I ICP, red line along tube, fever (must always be evaluated) |
| LP changes in bacterial meningitis | WBC, increase protein, decreased glucose |
| which disease has disturbed sensory perception | bacterial meningitis |
| Hirschsprung | no ganglion cells in portion of the bowel (mostly lower colon) |
| what disease gets resection & anastomosis | Hirschsprung |
| encopresis | voluntary or involuntary passage of stools in a child who has been toilet trained (usually early school age) |
| celiac disease | gluten damages the villi in the SI |
| antacids | neutralizes stomach acid- Ca carbonate, Mg hydroxide |
| histamine 2 blocker | reduces acid secretions- "tidine" |
| proton pump inhibitor | blocks acid production- "prazole" |
| prokinetics | stimulates GI motility --> empties stomach = less need for acid- metocloprimide |
| 4 meds used for GER | antacids, histamine 2 blocker, proton pump inhibitor, prokinetics |
| intussusception | proximal segment of bowel telescopes into more distal segment |
| what disease has currant jelly stool | intussucsception |
| biliary atresia | absence of some or all of major bile ducts --> obstruction of flow of bile to GB |
| which disease is associated with Dilantin | cleft lip/ palate |
| spina bifida | vertebrae doesn't develop & close around the cord |
