To assess spinal levels L2, L3 and L4 in Tina, which deep tendon reflexes would have to
be tested?
Correct: The patellar deep tendon reflex involves the sensory and motor nerve fibers associated with spinal
segments L2, L3, and L4. Location of abnormal reflexes may be helpful in identifying neurological pathologies of
the spine.
Achilles
Biceps
Patellar (Correct Response)
Triceps
Imagine that you were preparing to irrigate a Foley catheter of a patient with a spinal cord
injury at T4 in a urology clinic. Upon moving the leg bag, the patient became suddenly
flushed and diaphoretic above the nipple line. What would you suspect was happening?
Correct: Autonomic dysreflexia is the sudden increase in blood pressure caused by dysregulation of
sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems reacting to a noxious stimulus below the site of spinal injury.
Other symptoms include bradycardia, anxiety, blurred vision, headache, flushing, and sweating. The noxious
stimulus (pulling of the Foley catheter) should be alleviated to resolve the condition.
Odynophagia
Febrile reaction
Idiopathic spinal reaction
Autonomic dysreflexia (Correct Response)
Which of the following is not a common symptom of Parkinson's disease?
Incorrect: Parkinson’s disease is characterized by tremors at rest, bradykinesia, cogwheel rigidity, postural
instability, festination, lack of facial expression, reduced arm swing, autonomic and neuroendocrine dysfunctions,
and a variety of psychological issues such as depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbances.
Lack of facial expression (Student Response)
Festination
Cogwheel rigidity

Intention tremors (Correct Response)
Name at least three ways to assess cerebellar function during a physical exam.
If Tina had a fever and photophobia, you would have had to test for meningitis. Describe how you would have
tested for the Kernig’s sign.
Suppose you assessed pain sensation over Tina’s left foot, and noticed that she had decreased sensation. How
would you have proceeded with your exam?

Dear Student,
Congratulations! You did a good job with this assignment. But you are missing Follow up education
-Did not follow SOAP format..Introduction of patient.. CC then HPI/CN not documented. Of course
there is always room for improvement. Post-traumatic headache syndrome is a very common sequelae following injuries
