NSG 3160 Exam 2 – Neurological, HEENT & Integument Assessment – 120 Expert-Verified Questions with Answers – 2026

This document contains approximately 120 expert-verified questions and answers for NSG 3160 Exam 2 (2026), focusing on neurological assessment, mental status examination, head, eyes, ears, nose and throat (HEENT) evaluation, pain assessment, substance use screening, and integumentary system assessment. The content is presented in a structured, exam-style format to reinforce clinical reasoning, recall accuracy, and mastery of core health assessment principles. Major areas covered include the complete neurological examination (mental status, cranial nerves I–XII, motor and sensory systems, reflexes), Glasgow Coma Scale scoring, level of consciousness evaluation, Romberg and coordination testing, and age-related neurological changes. The document also reviews the components of the mental status exam (appearance, behavior, cognition, thought process), MMSE screening, PQRST pain assessment, alcohol screening tools (CAGE, TWEAK), substance use indicators, and objective signs of withdrawal and intoxication. HEENT content includes visual reflexes, pupillary responses, hearing assessments (Rinne, Weber, whispered voice test), cerumen characteristics, thyroid and lymph node evaluation, sinus palpation, and age-related sensory changes. The integumentary section addresses primary and vascular skin lesions, ABCDE melanoma screening, skin cancer risk factors, abnormal findings such as pallor, cyanosis, jaundice, clubbing, and edema, as well as inspection and palpation of hair, nails, and scalp. The material closely aligns with Jarvis: Physical Examination and Health Assessment by Carolyn Jarvis, a standard textbook used in undergraduate nursing health assessment courses. The questions reflect textbook-based clinical frameworks and emphasize practical bedside application and prioritization skills required for nursing exams.
