B. Elevated temperature
C. Agitation and hostility

response by the nurse is correct?
A. "I am checking the conscious nerve response in your leg."
B. "This assessment determines your hand-eye coordination."
C. "Checking this reflex assesses involuntary muscular contractions."
D. "The patellar reflex demonstrates large voluntary muscle coordination."
D. Determine whether the patient is able to move his legs and arms - Answer✔The nurse is
performing a "neuro check" on a patient who has demonstrated a decreased LOC. What is the
best way to assess the patient's neuromuscular status?
A. Measure the patient's vital signs.
B. Test the reaction of the patient's pupils to light.
C. Check the patient's response to the stimulus of pinching.

- Answer✔A patient who is to have computed tomography (CT scan) of the brain voices concern
about the procedure. The LPN/LVN can best allay the patient's fears by making which
statement?
A. "CT scans use only a small amount of radioactive material injected into your brain."
B. "The procedure is safe and painless; you will hear a clicking noise as the CT machine
rotates."
C. "You will probably be given something to make you drowsy and deaden the pain during the
CT scan."
C. "CT scanning is a new procedure, and since it involves the brain, I think the doctor can
