GRADED A

• What part of the brain is primarily responsible for coordination and balance?
• Frontal lobe
• Cerebellum
• Temporal lobe
• Occipital lobe

Answer: B) Cerebellum

Rationale: The cerebellum coordinates voluntary movements and helps maintain

balance and posture. The frontal lobe manages executive functions, the temporal lobe is involved in memory and hearing, and the occipital lobe processes visual information.

• Which of the following is the most common cause of traumatic brain injury

(TBI)? 1 / 4

• Stroke
• Falls
• Stroke
• Infection

Answer: B) Falls

Rationale: Falls are the leading cause of TBI, especially in young children and

older adults. Motor vehicle accidents are another common cause, but infections and strokes are not typical causes of traumatic brain injury.

• A person with a brain injury demonstrates difficulty in planning, problem-

solving, and impulse control. Which lobe of the brain is most likely affected?

• Parietal
• Temporal
• Frontal
• Occipital

Answer: C) Frontal

Rationale: The frontal lobe controls executive functions such as planning,

problem-solving, judgment, and impulse control. Injury to this area often results in behavioral and cognitive difficulties.

• During assessment, a client is unable to recall recent events but remembers

long-past memories. This type of memory loss is called:

• Procedural amnesia
• Retrograde amnesia 2 / 4

• Anterograde amnesia
• Global amnesia

Answer: C) Anterograde amnesia

Rationale: Anterograde amnesia is the inability to form new memories after the

injury, while retrograde amnesia involves loss of memories from before the injury.Procedural memory (skills) is usually spared in anterograde amnesia.

• Which standardized assessment tool is commonly used to evaluate the

severity of a brain injury in the acute phase?

• Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS)
• Rancho Los Amigos Levels of Cognitive Functioning
• Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE)
• Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)

Answer: A) Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS)

Rationale: The GCS assesses eye opening, verbal response, and motor response to

evaluate consciousness level immediately after brain injury. Rancho Los Amigos is used for cognitive recovery stages, MMSE and MoCA are used later for cognitive screening.

• Which of the following is a common behavioral symptom in individuals with

frontal lobe injury?

• Visual field cuts
• Impulsivity and disinhibition 3 / 4

• Aphasia
• Memory loss

Answer: B) Impulsivity and disinhibition

Rationale: The frontal lobe controls inhibition and social behavior. Damage here often causes impulsive actions and lack of social filters. Visual field cuts usually relate to occipital lobe injury, aphasia to language areas in the temporal or frontal lobes, and memory loss to temporal lobe or diffuse injury.

• In brain injury rehabilitation, which approach focuses on teaching new

strategies and compensatory techniques rather than restoring lost function?

• Restorative therapy
• Compensatory therapy
• Pharmacologic therapy
• Surgical intervention

Answer: B) Compensatory therapy

Rationale: Compensatory therapy teaches patients to use strategies and tools to

work around their deficits, such as memory aids or environmental modifications.Restorative therapy attempts to restore lost function.

• A person with brain injury experiences difficulty understanding spoken

language but can still speak fluently, although their speech lacks meaning. This

condition is called:

• Broca’s aphasia
• Wernicke’s aphasia
