and sleep. Without the central core‚ the brain would not be able to do major task like telling our hearts to beat and how fast. The central core of the human brain is separated in to sections. The hindbrain‚ which contains the Medulla‚ Pons‚ and Cerebellum; the midbrain is made up of the reticular formation; and the forebrain that contains the thalamus. Each of these parts of the central core contributes to the life function of the human body. The cerebral cortex of the brain‚ the “new brain”

1. Ronald is experiencing a cerebral vascular accident also known as a CVA or in layman’s terms‚ he is experiencing a stroke. Cerebral vascular accidents are very serious medical emergencies that are life threatening. Stroke is a generalized term that explains injury or death of the brain tissue due to interruption of cerebral blood flow (Bledsoe‚ p.g.197). A stroke occurs when the flow of blood to a part of the brain is stopped completely or significantly reduced. With no oxygen supply from the

her advanced MS. M.S is the demyelination of nerve fibres of the brain‚ optic nerves and spinal cord. It is a chronic disorder with the trend to progressively deteriorate neurological function. She is exhibiting signs and symptoms affecting the cerebellum which in turn had manifested into dysphasia (Hendrickson‚ Elms‚ & Shaw‚ 2010). She would also be made aware of the lack of supervision during meals due to work load or staffing shortages putting her in harm’s way if she were to aspirate. She would
