1. What is cranial nerve II
Optic
2. What is the best method to assess lymph nodes?
gentle, circular motion, use the finger pads to palpate and use both hands at the same time to compare
both sides
3. normal lymph nodes are
movable, discrete, contender, soft
4. Anisocoria
unequal pupil size
5. Presbyopia
loss of lens elasticity Seen a lot in elderly people
6. Tinnitus
ringing in the ears
7. The meaning of a vision score (20/20)
the first number is what the patient is able to see at, the second number is what a normal person is able to
see at
8. When someone is unable to read from the distance of 20 feet, what do you do
shorten the distance until they are able to read the sign and document where they can read it from
9. Intentional tremors
when someone is trying to feed themselves and they are unable to because of tremors
10.
11. s/s of (seasonal) allergy rhinitis
sneezing runny nose stuffy nose itchy nose coughing sore or scratchy throat itchy eyes water eyes
12. how reflexes are documented
4 = very brisk, hyperactive with clonus, indicative of disease 3 = brisker than average, may indicate disease
2 = average, normal 1 = diminished, low normal, or occurs with reinforcement 0 = no response
13. What is the Romberg test
assesses ability of vestibular apparatus in inner ear to help maintain standing balance. person stands with
feet together and arms at sides; when in stable position, ask person to close eyes and hold position for
about 20 seconds tests balance
14. What is a +/- Romberg test
+ Romberg test - pt. sways and is unable to hold posture and balance
15. CN I
Olfactory, smell, sensory test by occluding one nostril at a time, eyes closed and trying to identify smells
1
, 16. CN II
Optic, vision, sensory test visual acuity and visual fields by confrontation - observe pt. walking and if they
can move around w/o bumping into anything
17. CN III
Oculomotor, eye movement, motor
18. What is CN IV
trochlear, eye movement, motor
19. What is CN V
trigeminal Motor - mastication (palpate temporal and master muscles as person clenches teeth) Sensory -
sensations in ophthalmic, maxillary and mandibular (close pt. eyes, test light touch sensation by touching
cotton wisp to designated ares on persons face)

Glossopharyngeal
24. What is CN X
vagus
25. What is CN XI
spinal accessory
26. What is CN XII
hypoglossal
27. how does CN VII affect the face
Motor - mobility and facial symmetry, ability to move face Sensory - taste
28. If there is trauma or disease to CN VII, how does it affect the function
Absent or asymmetric facial movement and possible loss of taste
29. how does the parotid gland effect the face
30. what is the whisper voice test
(CN VIII) tests the ability of hearing normal and whispered conversation.
31. what are dermatones
Circumscribed skin area supplied mainly from one spinal cord segment through particular nerve
