9. Mr. U. experienced a spinal cord injury at T-6 as the result of an automobile accident when he was 18. Now, at age 45, he is a successful businessman and active in the community. He has recently, however, had increasing difficulty with decubitis ulcers. This complication of spinal cord injury: (Points : 1)
occurs because of the stress and adjustment difficulties; however, it can be alleviated with antacids and relaxation training
develops when pressure on a part of the body interferes with the blood supply to that part, eventually resulting in a breakdown and ulceration of the skin
only occurs in individuals who do not follow good personal hygiene practices
can best be prevented by dieting since it is the result of significant weight gain due to inactivity
10. An important consideration of neurological conditions is that: (Points : 1)

the rate of progression and degree of loss of functional capacity in many neurological conditions are predictable.
often conditions of the nervous system impose permanent loss of function and also involve complex self-concept and body image changes.

1. The correct answer is: Motor and perceptual consequences of brain damage affect speech and language.
To arrive at this answer, one would need to understand that motor and perceptual consequences of brain damage can impact various functions. Visual-spatial relations, vision and hearing, and bowel and bladder function are affected by other types of brain damage, not specifically motor and perceptual consequences. Memory, attention and concentration, and judgment are affected by cognitive impairment, not motor and perceptual consequences. Personality change and affective response can be affected by damage to certain areas of the brain, but it is not specific to motor and perceptual consequences.
2. The correct answer is: Compensation.
To arrive at this answer, one would need to understand the concept of compensation in the context of limitations associated with multiple sclerosis. Compensation refers to finding alternative means or activities to compensate for functional limitations or difficulties. In this case, Stephanie is engaging in creative writing activities as a means of self-expression due to her inability to maintain physical activity.
3. The correct answer is: Stigma associated with chronic illness and disability is a socially imposed mark which is based on stereotype, prejudice, or lack of understanding.
To arrive at this answer, one would need to understand the concept of stigma associated with chronic illness and disability. Stigma refers to a mark or negative perception imposed on individuals with chronic illness or disability by society. It is based on stereotypes, prejudice, or lack of understanding, and can have a significant impact on an individual's well-being and rehabilitation potential.
4. The correct answer is: The extent of the impact of chronic illness or disability is dependent on the nature of the condition and the degree of family and social support.
To arrive at this answer, one would need to understand that the impact of chronic illness and disability can vary depending on the specific condition and the individual's support system. Not all chronic illnesses or disabilities require alterations or adjustments in daily life, so the first statement is incorrect. People vary in their tolerance to symptoms, functional limitations, and coping abilities, so the second statement is incorrect. Reactions to chronic illness and disability can vary widely among individuals, so the third statement is also incorrect.
5. The correct answer is: Measuring health and disability.
To arrive at this answer, one would need to understand the purpose of the World Health Organization's classification system. The international classification system developed by the WHO is aimed at measuring health and disability in a standardized way. It provides a framework for defining and classifying disabilities to aid health care systems and improve the consistency of assessments and interventions.
6. The correct answer is: Electromyography (EMG).
To arrive at this answer, one would need to understand the different diagnostic procedures used for evaluating muscle diseases. Electromyography (EMG) is a procedure that measures the electrical activity of muscles and is commonly used to diagnose muscle diseases. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), deep brain stimulation, and pallidotomy are not specific to evaluating muscle diseases.
7. The correct answer is: Speech and language difficulty.
To arrive at this answer, one would need to understand the consequences of left-sided brain damage. Left-sided brain damage typically affects speech and language abilities, whereas spatial-perceptual deficits, difficulty processing visual cues, and memory impairment are more commonly associated with right-sided brain damage.
8. The correct answer is: Self-concept.
To arrive at this answer, one would need to understand the concept of self-perception. Self-concept refers to individuals' perceptions and beliefs about their own strengths and weaknesses, as well as the perceptions others have of them. It is a key aspect of one's overall self-perception and plays a significant role in self-esteem and body image.
9. The correct answer is: Decubitis ulcers develop when pressure on a part of the body interferes with the blood supply to that part, eventually resulting in a breakdown and ulceration of the skin.
To arrive at this answer, one would need to understand the complications of spinal cord injury and decubitis ulcers. Decubitis ulcers, also known as pressure ulcers or bedsores, develop when prolonged pressure on a specific area of the body reduces blood supply to that area, leading to tissue damage and skin breakdown. It is a common complication in individuals with spinal cord injuries.
10. The correct answer is: Often conditions of the nervous system impose permanent loss of function and also involve complex self-concept and body image changes.
To arrive at this answer, one would need to understand the general considerations of neurological conditions. Neurological conditions often result in permanent loss of function and can have a significant impact on an individual's self-concept and body image due to physical changes, functional limitations, and sometimes visible symptoms. The other options are inaccurate as available treatments for neurological conditions vary, the rate of progression and loss of functional capacity can vary, and not all conditions involve complex self-concept and body image changes.
