COMPLETE 2026 ACTUAL EXAM WITH CORRECT VERIFIED
ANSWERS | GURANTEED A+ EXAM EXCELLENCE
1. abdominal reflex: Normal response is the ipsilateral contraction of the abdominal mu
served deviation of the umbilicus towards the stroke.
2. Babinski reflex: Reflex in which a newborn fans out the toes when the sole of the foot is touched
3. Positive Babinski sign: dorsiflexion of the big toe and fanning of all toes
4. point location: touch skin and withdraw stimulus promptly; ask person to put finger where you touched
5. Graphesthesia: ability to "read" a number by having it traced on the skin
6. extinction phenomenon: Simultaneously touch two areas on each side of the body.
Similar sensations should be felt bilaterally.
7. cranial nerve I: Olfactory (smell)
8. cranial nerve II: Optic - vision
9. cranial nerve III: Oculomotor
10. cranial nerve IV: Trochlear

, 11. how do you test cranial nerve IV?: cardinal field test
12. cranial nerve V: Trigeminal
13. how do you test trigeminal nerve?: Assess facial sensation (hot/cold, dull/sharp), clench teeth,
corneal reflex
14. cranial nerve VI: Abducens
15. how do you test abducens nerve?: 6 fields of gaze for lateral movement
16. what 3 cranial nerves are tested together?: III, IV, VI
17. corneal reflex: blinking in response to corneal stimulation by a cotton wisp
18. Cranial Nerve VII: Facial - controls most facial expressions & secretion of tears & saliva & taste
19. cranial nerve VIII: Vestibulocochlear (hearing and balance)
20. cranial nerve IX: Glossopharyngeal
21. cranial nerve IX and X: ability to identify sour and bitter tastes on each side of the tongue. Test gag reflex
and ability to swallow.
Inspect palate and uvula for symmetry with speech sounds and gag reflex. Observe for swallowing diflculty. Evaluate quality
of guttural speech sounds (presence of nasal or hoarse quality to voice).
22. cranial nerve XI: spinal accessory
23. how to test cranial nerve XI?: shrug shoulders and rotate head against resistance
24. cranial nerve XII: Hypoglossal
mailto:https://www.stuvia.com/user/DREAMS
, 25. how to test cranial nerve XII?: inspect tongue in mouth and while protruded for symmetry, tremors,
atrophy. Inspect tongue movement toward nose and chin. Test tongue strength with index finger when tongue is
pressed against cheek. Evaluate quality of lingual speech sounds (l, t, d, n).
26. achilles reflex tests....: plantar flexion of foot
