Neurological Assessment NCLEX Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
The autonomic nervous system:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The ANS regulates internal organs (e.g., heart, digestion). [Level: Knowledge]
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following is an important functional parameter of pain receptors?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Pain receptors show little adaptation, ensuring persistent pain signaling. TMP13 pp. 621-622
Question 3 of 5
A pool of presynaptic neurons innervate the dendrites of a postsynaptic neuron. Electrical signals are transferred from the dendrites to the soma of the postsynaptic neuron by which process?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Electrotonic conduction transfers signals in dendrites, which lack sufficient voltage-gated channels for action potentials. TMP13 pp. 590-591
Question 4 of 5
Stimulation by touching or pulling on which structure is least likely to cause a painful sensation?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The brain tissue (postcentral gyrus) lacks pain receptors, unlike dura and blood vessels. TMP13 p. 629
Question 5 of 5
The sensation of temperature is signaled mainly by warm and cold receptors whose sensory fibers travel in association with the sensory fibers carrying pain signals. Which statement best characterizes the transmission of signals from warm receptors?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Warm receptor signals travel via slow-conducting type C fibers. TMP13 p. 630
