PASSS ASSUARED
Bilateral weakness in cranial nerve V (CN V) would be suggestive
of Bilateral hemispheric disease
When evaluating the six cardinal directions of gaze, a loss of conjugate movements is noted
when the patient looks to his left. This finding could be consistent with damage to which cranial
nerve?
Cranial nerve IV (Cranial Nerve III, IV, and VI)
Brief, repetitive, stereotyped, coordinated movements occurring at irregular intervals
are consistent with
Facial tics
Symptoms of a migraine headache can include throbbing nausea or vomiting, duration of
one day, and be unilateral and/or disabling. How many of these symptoms should be
present to classify the headaches as a migraine?
Three of the five
One way to assess cerebellar function would be to have the
patient Hop on one foot
A patient Is instructed to stand, close both eyes, and extend both arms forward with the
palms facing upward for 20-30 seconds. If the forearm drifts downward, the would indicate:
Corticospinal tract lesion
When evaluating a patient for weakness of the upper extremities, bilateral proximal
limb weakness without sensory loss is noted. This finding could be suggestive of
Alcohol myopathy.
To evaluate a patient’s response to a vibration sensation, the nurse practitioner would ask
the patient to identify
The sensation when the tuning fork is placed on the big toe.
The three important questions that govern the neurological examination include: is the
mental status intact? Are right sided and left sided findings symmetric? And
If findings are abnormal, is the cause in the central or peripheral nervous system?
During the type of seizure activity, the patient experiences partial seizures that resemble
tonic- clonic seizures. The patient may recall the aura and a unilateral neurologic deficit is
present during the postictal period. This type of seizure activity is referred to as a:
Focal seizure that becomes generalized

Having the patient shrug his shoulders and elicit neck movements would be testing
Cranial nerve:
XI
An ischemic stroke is
An infarction episode of neurologic dysfunction by focal brain, spinal cord, or retinal ischemia,
without acute infarction.
When trying to determine the level of consciousness in patient whose level of consciousness
is altered, a lethargic patient:
Appears drowsy but opens the eyes, looks at the examiners, answers the questions, and then
falls asleep.
The level of consciousness that refers to the patient that arouses from sleep only after
painful stimuli is known as:
Stupor
The term used to describe a distortion of any sense, especially that of touch,
is: Dysesthesia
When assessing the cranial nerve, the nurse practitioner instructs the patient to raise
both eyebrows, frown, and smile. These maneuvers would be assessing which cranial
nerve?
Cranial nerve XII (CN VII)
When assessing the patient’s sense of position, instruct the patient to first stand with his feet
together and eyes open, then instruct him to close both eyes for 30-60 seconds. If he loses his
balance with his eyes closed, this is:
Suggestive of ataxia related to dorsal column disease
Which one of the following symptoms is not associated with bulbar
symptoms? Dysesthesias
Anesthesia refers to:
Absence of touch
sensation
Most peripheral nerves contain afferent and efferent fibers. The term efferent refers
to: Motor nerve fibers.

reveal: Distal muscular weakness in the

the hand, foot or face then spreads to other parts of the body is known as a:
