1)
Although Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) can have serious medical impact on the well-being of the brain and circulatory system, implications for behavioral health conditions (i.e., mental illness and substance use disorders) are RARE.
 
True False
 
2)
Over the past two decades, the greatest increase in the rate of emergency department visits for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) has been due to
 
sports-related injuries
fall-related injuries among older adults
shaking-related injuries in babies and young children
war-related blasts
domestic violence
 
3)
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) refers to brain damage caused by all but what below?
 
a blow to the head
struck by or striking an object
being aggressively shaken or exposed to a blast
a cerebral stroke
a concussion
 
4)
Which is not true about a TBI?
 
Frontal areas of the brain, including the frontal lobes, are the most likely to be injured, regardless the point of impact to the head.
Enough force from a blow to the head, or from shaking or a blast, causes the brain to jiggle within the cranial vault, damaging the frontal lobes.
TBI severity ranges from mild to severe, from being dazed and confused with loss of memory to being in a coma.
Repeated mild TBI - as occurs in contact sports or during combat - does not create long-term vulnerabilities and effects.
 
5)
TBI is damage to the frontal areas of the brain, which, with sufficient magnitude, results in impairment of a person’s ability to regulate cognition, emotion, and behavior.
 
True False
 
6)
Concussion is often used as a synonym for mild TBI, especially in reference to sports injuries.
 
True False
 
7)
Moving on to Effects of TBI including Concussion: Immediate effects of TBI include what symptoms?
 
Light-headedness, dizziness, loss of balance, or headache
Difficulty remembering or concentrating and mood changes (feeling sad or angry for no reason)
Changes in sleep patterns, feeling tired, having no energy or motivation
Blurred vision or eyes that tire easily
All of the above.
 
8)
When the immediate effects of TBI do not resolve within 15 days, the condition is described as “Post-Concussive Syndrome,”
 
True False
 
9)
Injury to the frontal lobes of the brain can impair the uniquely human behaviors referred to as “Executive Functions.” Which below is not an Executive Function?
 
regulating feelings, impulsivity, and emotional expression
cognitive and behavioral functions
behavior change and learning new skills
sensitivity to lights and sounds
self-awareness of how others see you
 
10)
There is a well-documented association between TBI and behavioral health comorbidities, including depression, anxiety, suicide, and substance use disorders.
 
True False
 
11)
When a person with TBI loses consciousness at the time of the injury, the prevalence of lifetime TBI is significantly greater than when no loss of consciousness occurs.
 
True False
 
12)
The prevalence of moderate to severe lifetime TBI in homeless persons is
 
65%
17%
25%
 
13)
Pertaining to TBI and suicide risk,
 
the risk for completing suicide is two to four times greater for individuals with TBI than for the general population
among persons with brain injury, suicide risk assessment must focus more on opportunity and less on emotional distress
Both of the above.
Neither of the above.
 
14)
Pertaining to children with a history of TBI, which is not accurate?
 
An injury of any severity to the developing brain can disrupt a child’s developmental trajectory.
To be successful, treatment planning should include the child and the parents/guardians in close collaboration with the school.
TBI affects children differently than adults.
TBI affects children in the same way that TBI affects adults.
 
15)
Moving on to Strategies for Counselors for use with clients with TBI: Professionals must recognize the client's Executive Function impairment and accommodate these weaknesses in their treatment planning.
 
True False
 
16)
TBI affects children differently than adults. An injury of any severity to the developing brain can disrupt a child’s developmental trajectory and may result in restrictions in school and participation in activities.
 
True False
 
17)
In planning behavioral health treatment for persons with TBI, which is not accurate?
 
Need to consider what the treatment approach expects in terms of new learning—facts, rules, or routine.
Need to be aware of the client's attention or memory problems, and recall the information for them when needed.
Need to reinforce orally presented information with written information.
Need to consider whether individual sessions or groups will accommodate a person with a limited attention span.
Need to understand that most accommodations in treatment require complex adjustments.
 
18)
Treatment should be HOLISTIC. Medication for co-morbid medical conditions can complicate recovery. What should a counselor be aware of, concerning co-morbid medication?
 
When sedation is a side effect of medication, the medication may have a disproportional effect on alertness and cognition in persons with TBI..
Some co-morbid medications may have a disproportionate effect on behavior control in persons with TBI.
Medication for headache, fatigue, and sleep disturbance is often necessary for persons with TBI, with disproportionate effects.
All of the above.
None of the above because medication side-effects are the concern of physician.
 
19)
Identifying the effect of a person’s ENVIRONMENT—both SOCIAL and PHYSICAL—on their ability to successfully change behavior is the same when working with a person with TBI as with those without TBI.
 
True False
 
20)
In summary . . . When working with clients with TBI, what refinements do counselors often need to make in their typical approach to treatment planning and implementation?
 
Need to adjust our EXPECTATIONS for new learning by a client—e.g., their ability to learn new facts, rules, and routines.
Need to recognize the client's deficits in SOCIAL COGNITION—including their lack of awareness of how their behavior is misperceived by others in group counseling settings.
Need to avoid MISATTRIBUTION—such as assuming that treatment non-compliance means unwillingness to change.
All of the above
All but the first option
