Introduction
Welcome to the Testing the Nervous System Assignment. This assignment will cover the brain and spinal cord. For this assignment, you will investigate a case and answer the corresponding questions.
Remember to view the assignment rubric (see below) before completing the assignment.
Assignment Instructions
Read the Testing the Nervous System case study.
Answer each question and create a report for the case study.
Which of the test results indicated a central nervous system injury and why?
Which of the test results indicated a peripheral nervous system injury and why?
Are there any cranial nerves involved? Describe which cranial nerves could be involved.
Explain why the reflexes were hyperactive and the Babinski reflex was present.
Your report must be a minimum of 300 words.
All answers should be in your own words and typed neatly using appropriate grammar, spelling, punctuation, and APA style.
Include APA citations when necessary.
Must be submitted as a Word file.
Submit to your instructor by 11:59 PM on the date listed in the course schedule.
Notes
Do not include/rewrite the questions in the assignment.
Your submission must have a Turnitin similarity score of less than 20%. Remember you have 3 submissions before the due date to check your score.
Submissions greater than 20% will risk point deductions, and you may be reported to Administration for academic discipline.
Case Study
The case is based on a case from the National Center for Case Study Teaching in Science and modified/rewritten by Dr. Bruce Forciea.
Dr. Mary Smith and Dr. Ashley Peters were beginning their ER residency at ACME Memorial Hospital. They had been close friends throughout medical school and were looking forward to helping each other through the challenges of clinical work. They had just completed a 16-hour shift and were sitting down to enjoy a cup of bitter vending machine coffee when Nurse Cassidy burst into the break room.
“I wouldn’t get too comfortable,” said nurse Cassidy. “A call just came in; paramedics are bringing in a 19-year-old male with neuro injuries. Better drink up and get back to the ER.”
The young doctors intercepted the paramedics wheeling in the teen. His eyes were wide open, and he struggled to speak with the neck brace anchoring his head.
“19-year-old male, BP 100/70, pulse 102 bpm, respirations elevated, conscious and alert. A head wound with significant loss of blood. Motorcycle versus car accident. Friends called 911. Loss of consciousness at the scene, loss of sensation and movement in right upper and lower extremities. We immobilized and stabilized him at the scene.”
“So, what do you think?” said Dr. Smith. “I think we should rule out central nervous system/brain injury first?” said Dr. Peters.
“Actually, I disagree,” said Dr. Peters. “I think we should evaluate the spinal cord and peripheral nervous system first.”
“We’ll do both,” said Dr. Smith. “Let’s get going.”
The following table summarizes the findings of the evaluation, which included a physical exam, x-rays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and neurological tests.
Table 1. Summary of Diagnostic Testing for ER Patient
Sensory Testing
Decreased sensation to touch, pressure, and vibration in the right upper/lower extremities
Decreased temperature discrimination (cold vs. warm) in the left upper/lower extremities
Numbness on the right cheek
Motor Testing
Decreased strength and movement of the right upper/lower extremities during muscle testing
Absence of triceps and biceps reflexes in the right upper extremity
Numbness on the medial portion of the right hand and forearm
Abnormal response of patellar, Achilles (hyper) reflexes in the right lower extremity
Positive Babinski sign on the right foot
Inability of patient to turn head to the right along with weak right trapezius muscle
Weakness of right masseter muscle
Mild blurred vision
General Examination
Abnormal pupil response of right eye (constriction)
Other vital signs within normal limits
Cognitive testing normal (counts backward from 100 by 7s; knows name, date, place)
X-ray and MRI Examination
No fractures were present in the skull
Fracture in the 7th cervical vertebra
Significant swelling present in the spinal canal in the C7-T2 region
Spinal cord appears to be intact

write a brief discussion post in which you summarize (first paragraph) and refle

write a brief discussion post in which you summarize (first paragraph) and reflect upon (second paragraph) one of the primary readings located at the end of Chapter Two. Select from Mill (pp. 59-61), Kant (pp. 62-67), Aristotle (pp. 67-78), Baier (pp. 78-86), or Wolf (pp. 86-94).
To avoid plagiarism, you should always provide citations for any quoted or paraphrased materials; please list reference(s) for the textbook and other sources at the bottom of your post. See “A note about plagiarism” for more details and citation resources.
Some of the discussion activities in this class are required to be written; these are basically one-page “reflection papers” in which you will practice summarizing one of the primary readings in a clear and charitable manner and then responding in a critical, yet civil, manner. Guidelines for writing these posts are below. Note: a grading rubric is also provided with a break-down of how points will be awarded for each discussion activity.
Paragraph explaining a specific philosophical idea or argument in the text
In this first paragraph you should explain in your own words the main idea or argument presented in one of the assigned readings. Our textbook provides examples of what a good summary looks like in the editor’s introduction to each of the reading selections, but keep in mind that you are expected to do your own work. Be sure to identify the author’s name and the title of the reading, so that your reader can be certain what it is you are writing about. Because this summary is only supposed to be one paragraph in length, your aim is to write concisely so as to give your reader a clear picture of the idea/reasoning you are reflecting upon. Try to write in such a way that someone who didn’t do the reading could understand what it is about. The main goal in this first section is to demonstrate that you have (1) carefully read and (2) sincerely attempted to comprehend the reading about which you have chosen to write for this discussion activity.
Paragraph reflecting on a specific philosophical idea or argument in the text
In this second paragraph you should reflect upon the specific philosophical idea or line of reasoning which you identified in the previous section. The main goal here is to explain what you think about it and to say why you think what you do. Since this part of the assignment is about you and your response to the reading, there isn’t one way to write this part of your paper. If you feel uninspired you might respond, for example, to these kinds of questions: Do you agree with the idea or argument? Why or why not?; How does it connect to other material we’ve been discussing in class?; Does it have a bearing on other aspects of your life, such as what you are learning in other classes or relevant happenings outside of class?; What questions do you have about the reasoning? Why are these important questions to resolve?
