Neurosensory Nursing (NUR 213) – 50 Exam Questions on Glaucoma, Bell’s Palsy, Meniere’s, Cranial Nerves

This document provides 50 verified exam questions and answers for NUR 213: Neurosensory Nursing, a core course in nursing programs across U.S. universities. Designed for BSN, ADN, and LPN-to-RN students, the questions are aligned with the ATI Adult Medical Surgical Nursing Review Module and target neurosensory disorders critical for clinical practice and NCLEX-RN preparation. The questions comprehensively cover common eye, ear, and neurologic disorders and their management, including: Ophthalmologic Conditions: Cataracts, detached retina, and types of glaucoma (open-angle and angle-closure), with diagnostic ranges of intraocular pressure and medication administration protocols. Auditory & Vestibular Disorders: Meniere’s disease (initial and last-resort treatments), acoustic neuroma, conductive vs sensorineural hearing loss, and ototoxic medication risks. Cranial Nerve Disorders: Detailed evaluation of cranial nerves V (Trigeminal – Tic Douloureux) and VII (Facial – Bell’s Palsy), their symptoms, causes, and treatments using corticosteroids, antivirals, or anticonvulsants. Neurologic Syndromes: Guillain-Barré Syndrome (progression from feet upward, areflexia, ANS dysfunction) and chronic fatigue syndrome (hypothalamic involvement, no diagnostic test). Pharmacologic and Surgical Care: Use of eye medications like atropine and gentamicin, nasolacrimal pressure techniques, and patient education following ocular procedures. This material is highly relevant for nursing students in neurology, sensory disorders, adult med-surg, and students preparing for HESI or NCLEX exams.
