◉ MOE X4. Answer: movement of extremities, equal motor strength
◉ Brundzski Test. Answer: Passive Flexion of Neck-Checks for
Meningitis
◉ Romberg test. Answer: Ask the patient to stand about 2 feet in
front of you, with his feet together, toes pointed forward, and his
hands at his sides. While you extend your hands so that one is on
either side of the patient, ask him to close his eyes. Watch to see how

the test and document that he demonstrated difficulty maintaining
balance

Temperature (e.g., of a skin area)
Moisture
Vibration (e.g., of a joint)
Swelling
Rigidity or spasticity
