A 23-year-old male patient is admitted with a fracture of C6 and C7 that has resulted in quadriplegia. He was injured during a football game at the university where he is currently a senior. His career as a quarterback had been very promising. At the time of the injury, contract negotiations were in progress with a leading professional football team. 1.Use Roy’s criteria to identify focal and contextual stimuli for each of the four adaptive modes.

How might the care of a client in the home setting differ from the care of a client such as Mrs. Dodd who is receiving care in a critical care unit?
Explain the ascending pathway of how the information about touch sensation travels from the right arm up to the brain where he is aware that he has been touched. (Use complete sentences.) Use these key words in this order: sensory neuron, radial nerve in brachial plexus, spinal nerve, dorsal root ganglion, dorsal root, dorsal horn in cervical spinal cord, ascending tract, decussate, somatosensory cortex in postcentral gyrus, parietal lobe, Mr. Dexter thinks “Someone touched my arm.”)
Why is visual disturbance and poor fine motor control not a symptom of Multiple sclerosis. A) short neural pathways do not contain myelin. B) lightly myelinated nerves are those likely to affected in early stages of the disease. C) oligodendrocytes do not produce myelin. D) the cerebellum affected in MS causing issues with fine motor control due to the loss of the cerebrospinal fluid

Unilateral Cerebral strokes can cause deficits in motor control, somatic sensation and vision. However, they do not cause deficits in hearing. The explanation for this is: Auditory information does not reach the cortex Auditory information only goes to one hemisphere. Auditory information goes to both hemispheres How are the outer segments of photoreceptors positioned? between bipolar cells and horizontal cells in the outermost layer of the retina in the ganglion cell layer farthest from the pigment epithelium
Describe the similarities between pain and the other somatic sensations. Describe the differences.
A neurosurgeon probes a person’s brain to map its functions. The person is awake and feels no pain during this procedure. As each area of the brain is probed, the person perceives a different sensation, as described in the table. Which structure (or lobe) of the brain is being stimulated in each scenario? [You do not need to explain why. Just state the lobe or structure] a) “I can hear a radio playing” _____________________ b) “I can see a flash of bright light” _____________________ c) “I can smell the flowers in my garden” ______________________ d) “I remember a happy moment from my childhood” ____________________ e) “I can feel pain in my foot” ____________________ f) “My finger just twitched” ____________________
