NURS 5220 Advanced Health Assessment Test 2 Prep (2026) – 400+ Questions on Cranial Nerves, Neuro Exam, Abdominal Assessment & Pediatric Disorders

This NURS 5220 Advanced Health Assessment Test 2 Prep (2026) guide contains over 400 structured and expert-verified questions covering advanced neurological assessment, cranial nerve evaluation, reflex testing, abdominal examination techniques, breast assessment, and pediatric and adult pathologies. The material provides a comprehensive review of Cranial Nerves I–XII, including function, motor vs sensory classification, testing methods (PERLA, six cardinal fields, corneal reflex, gag reflex, whisper test), and infant-specific assessment techniques such as rooting, sucking, and doll’s eye reflexes (pages 1–6). It also thoroughly reviews aphasia types (Broca’s vs Wernicke’s), agnosia localization by lobe, delirium characteristics, Parkinson’s findings, limbic system function, MMSE usage, and deep tendon reflex grading with spinal cord levels (C5–S2). The guide further delivers in-depth abdominal assessment content including proper exam sequence (inspection, auscultation, percussion, palpation), bowel sound interpretation (borborygmi, bruits, venous hum), percussion findings (tympany, dullness), and emergency indicators such as absent bowel sounds. It details appendicitis tests (McBurney’s point, Iliopsoas, Obturator, Markle), Murphy sign for gallbladder disease, Cullen and Grey Turner signs for internal bleeding, CVA tenderness for pyelonephritis, and Blumberg’s rebound tenderness. Gastrointestinal, hepatic, pancreatic, renal, and pediatric disorders are extensively covered, including Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, cirrhosis, pancreatitis, hydronephrosis, pyloric stenosis, intussusception, Hirschsprung disease, biliary atresia, Wilms tumor, hemolytic uremic syndrome, and more. Breast assessment and endocrine development sections include Tanner staging, thelarche, premature thelarche, breast exam positioning, red-flag findings (peau d’orange, unilateral venous pattern), fibrocystic changes, fibroadenoma, Paget disease, inflammatory breast cancer, and the “10-year rule” for mammography screening. Additional high-yield topics include autism signs, pediatric BP calculation formula, genu varum vs genu valgum, hydrocele, phimosis, balanitis, and neurologic red flags such as Brudzinski and Kernig signs. The structured Q&A format reinforces clinical reasoning, differential diagnosis skills, neuroanatomical localization, and exam-sequencing mastery required for advanced practice nursing examinations.
