Question 17 • GA-Essentials of Healthcare

Select the statements that describe brain injuries.

Answer
A
Brain injuries only affect the brain.
B
Brain injuries can occur when the brain’s oxygen or glucose supply is interrupted.
C
Brain injuries can only be caused by physical trauma.
D
Brain injuries can be caused by infection or intoxication.

Explanation

The brain needs a steady supply of oxygen and glucose to function, so an interruption in either can injure brain tissue. Brain injuries can also result from causes such as infection or intoxication. They are not limited to physical trauma, and their effects may extend beyond the brain, so A and C are incorrect.
