Mental Health Unit 1

Front 1

Ramelteon (Rozerem)

Back 1

an MT(melatonin) receptor agonist. it has a high selectivity and potency at the MT receptor sites, which regulate sleepiness and circadian rhythms.

Front 2

If a patient has suffered a vast degree of injury to the cerebral cortex, which lobe of the brain has been effected?

Back 2

Temporal Lobe. This lobe connects to the limbic system to allow expression of emotions. Any injury to the Temporal Lobe would result in abnormally fluctuating emotions. This lobe is also responsible for language comprehension.

Front 3

Which imaging techniques require an injection of a substance that is then traced to gather data regarding brain function?

Back 3

Positron-emission tomography (PET)

Single Photon emission computed tomography(SPECT)

Front 4

IF a patient is unable to sleep, what type of drug should be prescribed to the patient?

Back 4

A drug that inhibits norepinephrine activity

Front 5

What causes depression?`

Back 5

A deficiency of norepinephrine or serotonin, or both, causes depression.

Front 6

What causes Schizophrenia?

Back 6

excess transmisison of dopamine

Front 7

what causes anxiety?

Back 7

deficient production of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) decreases neuronal excitability and causes anxiety.

Front 8

what causes Psychosis?

Back 8

Excess glutamate production would cause excess production of Dopamine, which can cause psychosis

Front 9

Which Neurotransmitters are taken back into the presynaptic cell in a process called reuptake?

Back 9

norepinephrine, serotonin, and Dopamine

Front 10

Which areas of safety should be discussed with a patient who has just been prescribed a benzodiazepine (BZD)?

Back 10

Impared motor function, poor concentration, impared judgment, and drug interaction

Front 11

What is the cause of Schizophrenia?

Back 11

Decreased uptake of glucose in the frontal lobe

Front 12

Behavioral modification methods are most helpful with which types of individuals?

Back 12

Children, adolescents, and individuals with chronic mental illness

Front 13

Mechanism of Action (MOA)

Back 13

description of how drugs work in the body, the side effects.

Front 14

DA (Dopamine)

Back 14

Neurotransmitter located in the frontal cortex, limbic sstem, basal ganglia, thalmus, posterior pituitary, spinal cord.

Effects: Movement, co-ordination, emotions, voluntary judgement, release of pro-lactin

Front 15

NE (Norepinephrine)

Back 15

Neurotransmitter located in the thalmus, hypothalmus, limbic system, hypocampus, cerebellum, cerebral cortex

Effects: mood, cognition, perception, locomotion, cardiovascular function, sleep, arousal

AFFECTS THE SYMPATHETIC BRANCH

Front 16

5-HT (Seratonin)

Back 16

Neurotransmitter located in the hypothalmus, thalmus, limbic system,cerebral cortex, cerebellum, spinal cord

Effects: Sleep, arousal, libido, appetite, mood, aggression, pain, perception co-ordination,, movement

receptors: 5-HT, 5-HT2, 5-HT3, 5-HT4

Front 17

Histamine

Back 17

Found in the Hypothalmus

Effects: Pain sensation, wakefulness, pain sensation, inflammatory response, GI system involvement

receptors: H1, H2

Front 18

Amino Acids

Back 18

Neurotransmitter found in the thalmus, cortex, hypocampus, cerebellum, casl ganglia, spinal cord, retina

Slows down body activities

Receptors are GABA

Front 19

ACh (Acetylcholine)

Back 19

Neurotransmitter found in the cerebral cortex, hypocampus, limbic structures, casal ganglia

PARASYMPATHETIC

Affects sleep, arousal, pain, perception, movement

Front 20

MAO

Back 20

Located in the Synapse, kills monoamin neurotransmitters, which are: Dopamine, norepinephrine, seratonin, and histamine.

Front 21

SSRI's

Back 21

Selecive Seratonin Re-uptake inhibitors; they are blocked at the re-uptake valve of the presynaptic cell, and stay in the synapse

Front 22

Tricycliccholinasterase

Back 22

Blocks re-uptake of norepinephrine, seratonin, and sometimes Dopamine

Front 23

MAO inhibitors

Back 23

Block monoamino neurotransmitters, causing a buildup of neurotransmitters in the pre-synaptic cell

Front 24

Which Achievements were made during the "Decade of the Brain?"

Back 24

Identifying key roles of cytokines in brain disorders such as depression

Mapping of genes inolved in neurologial illnesses like alzheimer's

Refinement of neuroimaging techniques, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans

Front 25

What was the primary impact that the development and use of psychotropic drugs had on nursing's role in the care of patients with mental health disorders?

Back 25

The expansion of the role assumed by professionally trained nurses

Front 26

What are common cognitive distortions that leads to people drawing conclusions?

Back 26

Mind Reading

Fortune-telling

Emotional reasoning

Front 27

What is Intrapersonal therapy effective at treating?

Back 27

problems with grief, role disputes, role transition, and interpersonal deficit.

Front 28

What does Mental Filter mean?

Back 28

Focusing on a negative detail to the extent that it affects other important activities.

Front 29

What is the function of the Autonomic Nervous System?

Back 29

to transmit messages between the brain and the internal organs. This linkage promotes the maintenance of homeostasis

Front 30

What are possible side effects of an antidepressant that blocks Acetylcholine?

Back 30

Blurred vision

dry mouth

constipation

sinus tachycardia

and urinary retention

Front 31

Why would a patient be prescribed Chlorpromazine?

Back 31

In order to calm someone who is upset or agitated

Front 32

What is the effect of Nicotine on the body?

Back 32

Nicotine stimulates the central nervous system and hence increases heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate.
