Review of Systems Neurological Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
A sensory neuron of the peripheral nervous system take nerve impulses from sensory receptors to the ________ .
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Sensory neurons in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) transmit nerve impulses from sensory receptors (e.g., in the skin, eyes, or ears) to the central nervous system (CNS), which includes the brain and spinal cord. These neurons play a crucial role in detecting external and internal stimuli, such as touch, temperature, and pain, and relaying this information to the CNS for processing and response.
Question 2 of 5
The part of the brain responsible for unconscious bodily functions is the:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The brain stem is responsible for regulating unconscious bodily functions, such as breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure. It includes structures like the medulla oblongata, pons, and midbrain. These areas control vital processes necessary for survival and maintain homeostasis. The brain stem also serves as a pathway for nerve signals traveling between the brain and the rest of the body, making it essential for basic life functions.

Question 5 of 5
While obtaining a patient's medical history, you find that the patient is taking levodopa/carbidopa (Sinemet) for Parkinson's disease. Which of the following information in the patient's health history alerts you to take further action?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The combination of levodopa and carbidopa, both dopamine-replacement drugs, can cause changes in intraocular pressure. Providers should not prescribe this drug combination for patients who have glaucoma, and in this case, the patient's drug therapy requires adjustment. Pancreatic disorders are not a contraindication for levodopa/carbidopa; instead, caution is required when using it with patients who have peptic ulcer disease. Hearing impairment is not a contraindication for levodopa/carbidopa; instead, it can cause a variety of vision disturbances.
