Correct Answer
A. Menstruation is not interruptedExplanation
Women with spinal cord injuries may experience sexual dysfunction, including difficulties with arousal, orgasm, and lubrication. However, menstruation is not directly affected by spinal cord injuries. This means that women with spinal cord injuries can still have regular menstrual cycles. The other options mentioned, complications with pregnancy and the ability to become pregnant, are true and can be affected by spinal cord injuries.Rate this question:

With autonomic dysreflexia a noxious stimuli below level of lesion triggers a massive sympathetic response.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Autonomic dysreflexia is a condition that occurs in individuals with spinal cord injuries. It is characterized by a hyperactive sympathetic response to a noxious stimulus below the level of the spinal cord lesion. This means that any painful or irritating stimulus below the level of injury can cause a sudden and severe increase in blood pressure, sweating, and other autonomic symptoms. Therefore, the statement that a noxious stimuli below the level of the lesion triggers a massive sympathetic response is true.Rate this question:

Name 4 possible causes of autonomic dysreflexia
- A.
Noxious stimuli
- B.
Full bladder
- C.
Full bladder
- D.
Kinked catheter
- E.
Rapidly changing temperature in the environment
Correct Answer(s)
A. Noxious stimuli
B. Full bladder
C. Full bladder
D. Kinked catheter
E. Rapidly changing temperature in the environmentExplanation
Autonomic dysreflexia is a condition characterized by an abnormal response of the autonomic nervous system to certain stimuli. Noxious stimuli, such as pain or irritation, can trigger autonomic dysreflexia. A full bladder can also cause this condition, as the increased pressure can stimulate the autonomic nervous system. Similarly, a kinked catheter can lead to autonomic dysreflexia by causing bladder distention. Lastly, rapidly changing temperature in the environment can be a cause, as it can stimulate the autonomic nervous system and trigger the condition.Rate this question:

Local pain
- A.
At site of injury
- B.
Nerve root pain
- C.
Phantom pain
Correct Answer
A. At site of injuryExplanation
The correct answer is "at site of injury". This refers to the pain experienced directly at the location of the injury. It is a localized pain that occurs specifically where the injury has occurred. This type of pain is typically a result of tissue damage or inflammation at the site of the injury, causing discomfort and soreness in that specific area.Rate this question:

Radicular pain
- A.
Phantom pain
- B.
Deep bone pain
- C.
Nerve root pain
Correct Answer
C. Nerve root painExplanation
The term "radicular pain" refers to pain that radiates along the nerve root, typically caused by compression or irritation of the nerve. "Phantom pain" refers to pain felt in a body part that has been amputated. "Deep bone pain" refers to pain originating from within the bone. Therefore, the most appropriate and related term to the given options is "nerve root pain," which specifically describes pain originating from the nerve root.Rate this question:

Dysesthesias
- A.
No pain
- B.
Nerve root pain
- C.
Phantom pain
Correct Answer
C. pHantom painExplanation
Dysesthesias refers to abnormal sensations that can be experienced by individuals, such as tingling, burning, or numbness. It is a condition that can occur due to various reasons, including nerve damage or dysfunction. The other options provided, "no pain" and "nerve root pain," do not accurately describe dysesthesias. However, "phantom pain" is a term used to describe pain felt in a body part that has been amputated or is no longer present. This aligns with the concept of abnormal sensations and can be considered as a possible explanation for the given term "dysesthesias."Rate this question:
