The normal finding from the Babinski reflex is:
 
  a. fanning out of the toes.
  b. upwards curl of the big toe.
  c. pain in the big toe.
  d. downwards curl of the big toe.



The test involving fluoroscopy and radiography to evaluate the spinal cord and vertebral column after injection of a contrast medium into the subarachnoid space is called:
 
  a. computerised tomography scan.
  b. myelogram.
  c. positron emission tomography.
  d. pneumoencephalography.



Concussion can be described as a blow to the head and is characterised by a loss of consciousness for:
 
  a. less than 10 minutes, leading to memory loss,migraine and paraesthesia.
 b. greater than 10 minutes, leading to memory loss,confusion and headaches.
 c. greater than 5 minutes, leading to memory loss,confusion and headaches.
 d. less than 5 minutes, leading to memory loss,
  confusion and headaches.



Clinical handover can be achieved by using a variety of information-sharing techniques such as SHARED, which stands for:
 
  a. Situation, History, Assessment, Risk, Expectation,Documentation.
 b. Shared, Health, Arrangement, Resource, Evaluate,Determination.

The plantar reflex is evaluated by stroking the sole of
the foot with one continuous movement from the heel to the
toes. Normally, the big toe curls downwards in response to
this stimulus. An abnormal response, Babinski's sign, when
there is dorsiflexion of the big toe and fanning of the other
toes, indicates upper motor neuron disease.
