Nursing Practice IV
Neuro C — Spinal Cord Injury & Peripheral Nerves
17-page illustrated PNLE cram sheet
What it covers
- The cord map: what each level keeps, what each level loses
- Dermatomes — the body's postal code system, and the landmarks the exam tests
- Complete vs incomplete: Brown-Sequard (Brown-Séquard), central cord, anterior cord, cauda equina
- The first hours: immobilize, log-roll, keep the pressure up, watch the breathing
- Spinal shock vs neurogenic shock at the bedside
- Skull tongs and the halo vest — living inside the hardware
- Autonomic dysreflexia: the pounding-headache emergency the PNLE never skips
- Bladder programs, bowel programs, skin, spasticity, sexuality — the rehab years
- Peripheral neuropathy: stocking-glove numbness, carpal tunnel, sciatica
- The Philippine layer: motorcycles, helmets, the PWD ID and your patient's rights
