NURS 660 EXAM 1 MARYVILLE
QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED ANSWERS;
100% CORRECT; GRADE A
11th cranial nerve - correct answer- spinal assessory,
push head against hand
12th cranial nerve - correct answer- hypoglossal stick
tongue out
1st cranial nerve - correct answer- smell, a function
of the 1st olfactory cranial nerve is only evluated after head
trauma or when lesions of the anterior fossa (menigiomas) are
suspected or patients report abnormal smell or taste, pt is asked
to identify odors, alcohol, ammonia and other irritants which
test the nociceptive receptors of hte 5th (trigeminal) cranial
nerve are used only when malingering is suspected
3rd, 4th and 6th cranial nerves - correct answer- 3rd
is oculomotor, 4th is troclear, and 6th abducens are tested
witheyes observed for symmetry of movement looking for
assymetry, droop (ptosis) and twitches
, 5th cranial nerve - correct answer- trigeminal, if
facial sensation ois lost the angle of the law should be examined,
sparing of this area (innervated by spinal root C2) suggests a
trigeminal defect. A weak blink due to facial weakness (7th
cranial nerve paralysis) should be distinguised from depessed or
absent corneal sensation which is common in contact lens
wearers, a patient with facial weakness will still feel the cotton
wisp on both sides even though blink is decreased. Trigeminal
nerve is tested by palpating the masseter muscle against
resistance
8th cranial nerve - correct answer- weber and rinne,
vestibular function can be evaluated for nystagmus
9th and 10th cranial nerves - correct answer- 9th
glossopharyngeal and 10th (vagus) "AH"
accomodation - correct answer- adjusting old
schemas or developing new ones to better fit the new
information
