ANSWER-CN X. Vagus nerve: digestion and heart rate- use a soft cotton swab to tickle
the back of the throat on both sides. This should cause the person to gag.
List the 12 cranial nerves (name and number & cranial nerve) how to assess them and
what you would expect to find on a normal adult? Abnormal response? - CORRECT
ANSWER-CN XI. Accessory nerve: shoulder and neck muscle movement- assessing
two muscles: the trapezius and sternocleidomastoid. When assessing the trapezius, ask
the patient to shrug their shoulders, then apply resistance. Accessory nerve weakness
will present with weak or no resistance to your downward force.
List the 12 cranial nerves (name and number & cranial nerve) how to assess them and
what you would expect to find on a normal adult? Abnormal response? - CORRECT
ANSWER-CN XII. Hypoglossal nerve: ability to move your tongue- have the patient
protrude her tongue. Assess for deviation of the tongue, atrophy, and fasciculations.

Brainstem? - CORRECT ANSWER-breathing, consciousness, blood pressure, heart
rate, and sleep. The brainstem contains many critical collections of white and grey

What are the functions of: Cerebellum? - CORRECT ANSWER-Also known as "little
brain", it is responsible for coordinating movement and balance
What are the functions of: Frontal lobe? - CORRECT ANSWER-voluntary movement,
expressive language and for managing higher level executive functions.
, What are the functions of: Temporal lobe? - CORRECT ANSWER-managing your
emotions, processing information from your senses, storing and retrieving memories,
and understanding language.
What are the functions of: Parietal lobe? - CORRECT ANSWER-receiving and
processing sensory input such as touch, pressure, heat, cold, and pain.
What are the functions of: Occipital lobe? - CORRECT ANSWER-visuospatial
processing, distance and depth perception, color determination, object and face
recognition, and memory formation.
Name signs/symptoms and test for the different disease processes?
Parkinson's? - CORRECT ANSWER-Tremors, slowed movements, rigid muscles, loss

symptoms. These symptoms can include weakness of arm or leg muscles, double
vision, drooping eyelids, and problems with speaking, chewing, swallowing and
breathing. - a blood test to look for a type of antibody (produced by the immune system)
that stops signals being sent between the nerves and muscles.

CORRECT ANSWER-Numbness or weakness in the face, arm, or leg; Confusion or
trouble speaking or understanding speech; Trouble seeing in one or both eyes; Trouble
walking, dizziness, or problems with balance; severe headache with no known cause.-A
MRI test can detect the signs of stroke
Name signs/symptoms and test for the different disease processes? Alzheimer's? -
CORRECT ANSWER-Memory loss that disrupts daily life. ,Challenges in planning or
solving problems. ,Difficulty completing familiar tasks. ,Confusion with time or
place. ,Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships. ,New problems
with words in speaking or writing.- Perform brains scans such as CT, MRI,and PET
