Read the first 6 Neurological Rehabilitation flashcards as text

  1. A patient with Guillain-Barré syndrome is in the recovery phase. Which nursing priority is MOST important during early mobilization?

    Answer: Monitoring for orthostatic hypotension

    Autonomic instability in GBS can cause significant orthostatic hypotension during position changes, making hemodynamic monitoring essential during mobilization.

  2. Which outcome is EXPECTED for a patient with a complete C6 spinal cord injury regarding self-care?

    Answer: Ability to perform upper body dressing independently with adaptive equipment

    A patient with C6 complete injury retains wrist extension, enabling use of adaptive equipment for upper body dressing but requiring assistance for lower body care.

  3. A rehabilitation nurse is teaching a patient with epilepsy about seizure precautions. Which instruction is MOST important?

    Answer: Never drive until seizure-free per state law guidelines

    State laws govern driving restrictions after a seizure, and patients must understand these legal and safety requirements as a priority safety teaching point.

  4. When assessing a patient with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) for aspiration risk, which finding is MOST concerning?

    Answer: Weak cough and wet vocal quality after swallowing

    A wet or gurgling vocal quality after swallowing combined with a weak cough indicates laryngeal penetration and significantly elevated aspiration risk.

  5. A patient with TBI at Rancho Level IV is agitated and pulling at tubes. Which nursing intervention is MOST appropriate?

    Answer: Use a calm, consistent approach and minimize stimulation

    Rancho Level IV (confused-agitated) requires a calm, structured, low-stimulation environment with consistent nursing care rather than restraints or heavy sedation.

  6. Which intervention BEST prevents heterotopic ossification (HO) in a patient with severe TBI?

    Answer: Administer prophylactic indomethacin and maintain gentle ROM

    NSAIDs such as indomethacin help prevent HO formation, and gentle ROM preserves joint mobility without the trauma that can trigger HO progression.
