intention tremors....this is one of the nursing interventions in
the book.
smember that dysarthria is different than aphasia...both have to do with speaking, but
‘ayartheria has to do with motor control...not being able to physically speak, coordinate the
‘muscles to speak...aphasia is total or partial loss of the ability to use or understand language;
usually caused by stroke, brain disease, or injury. Aphasia has to do with language. ...dysarthera
has to do with the actual movement involved with speaking. .you know what you want to say
‘but you can’t move your fips and mouth in the correct manner to say it so they have a slur or
something ....there are many different types of aphasia but if I remember correctly if there were
any questions on this they wanted you to be able to distinguish between expressive aphasia and
receptive aphasia... here is something I copies with a photo of the areas of the brain where this
stuff happens cause they do ask a questions — as I texted you earlier ~ on where this
language/speech deficit crap occurs:
Expressive aphasia (non-fluent aphasia), is characterized by the loss of the ability to produce
language (spoken or written). It is one subset of a larger family of disorders known collectively
as « Expressive aphasia differs from + Which is typified by a patient's inability to
properly move the muscles of the tongue and mouth to produce speech. Expressive aphasia is
different from - Expressive aphasia is when a patient's can’t understand

commonly caused by or - Some form of aphasia occurs in 34 to 38% of
stroke patients. Expressive aphasia occurs in approximately 12% of new cases of aphasia
caused by stroke. In most cases, expressive aphasia is caused by a stroke in Broca's area or the
surrounding vicinity.
Receptive aphasia, also known as Wernicke’s aphasia, fluent aphasia, or sensory aphasia, is
atype of resulting from damage to the brain, in the posterior part of
the of the dominant hemisphere (meaning left-handed, right-handed,
‘what side of your brain that dominates.) People with receptive aphasia can speak with normal
grammar, syntax, rate, intonation, and stress, but they are unable to understand language written
or spoken.
Question about hemianopia ~ that is where the vision on side is completely gone...they cannot
see and they have to tur their heads in order to see on the good side. [think the answer to this
juestion has something to do with where you would place items or position yourself to talk to
1em and itis place items on the opposite side of where the hemianopia is....i.¢, if they have
right-sided hemianopia than they are completely blind on the right side. They have to turn their
bodies completely to the opposite side to see, 50 you place objects on the left side...
Also communication question can’t remember but I think itis about teaching to a person who has
a visual deficit and is confused, or possibly a hearing deficit, you are going to provide them with
‘materials [ believe that is the answer. I think I picked | would educate the spouse, ot family
‘member I think that is wrong and you educate the person with the deficit by addressing their
Jeaming needs, i.e, providing them with materials....it is not educate the family... You don’t

there is a question about dysarthria, that is where they can comprehend speech but they
