Cranial nerve IX
- accurate answers-Glossopharyngeal (gag reflex)
Cranial nerve X

Cranial nerve XI
- accurate answers-Spinal Accessory - controls trapezius &
sternocleidomastoid & controls swallowing movements, shrug shoulder and
turn head
,Cranial nerve XII
- accurate answers-Hypoglossal Articulation. And tongue movement
Gross motor strength
- accurate answers-Upper and lower extremities, look for symmetry and
strength
Cerebella Function
- accurate answers-Romberg test, coordination, reflexes
Subdural acute
- accurate answers-Less than 72 hours
Subdural subacute
- accurate answers-3-20 days
Subdural chronic
- accurate answers-> 20 days
Epidural hematoma
- accurate answers-Bleeding from the middle meninges arteries
Basilar skull fracture
- accurate answers-Can cause leaking of CSF
Pneumocephalus
- accurate answers-Air entry into the CSF filled space
Battles sign
- accurate answers-Ecchymosis behind the ear/mastoid process (concern for
basilar skull fracture and CSF leak)
Raccoon eyes
- accurate answers-Periorbital ecchymosis associated with basilar skull
fractures and orbital fractures (concern for CSF leak)
, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS)
- accurate answers-Rapid Neuro Exam ~ measures Motor response 1-6, verbal
response 1-5 and eye opening 1-4
What is a normal GCS
- accurate answers-15
What does a GCS of 7 mean
- accurate answers-Coma
What does GCS of 3 mean
- accurate answers-Deep coma
FOGS Mental status
- accurate answers-family story, orientation, general information, spelling
Rapid neuro evaluation calculations
- accurate answers-Count backwards by 7 from 100, or repeat a 3 digit
number
Rapid Neuro evaluation recall
- accurate answers-Recall 2 objects
Subarachnoid hemorrhage
- accurate answers-Extreme headaches and necks stiffness, comes from
ruptured intracranial saccular (berry) aneurysms 80% of time
Trigeminal neuralgia (tic douloureux)
- accurate answers-Excruciating facial pain for 3 secs, can be disabling. More
often in females and over 50. Caused by compression by a nearby artery and
secondary demyelination of axons in the 5th Cranial nerve. The Trigeminal
nerve has 3 branches~ opthalamic, maxillary, and madibular branch. Treat
with carbamazepine or oxcarbazepine. Can also use baclofen, Gabapentin or
lamotrigine. Can use surgery but it will often return.
Bell's palsy
- accurate answers-Caused by HSV most often. Loss of motor function to face,
loss of taste in 2/3 of tongue, and sensation to EAC. Will have a sense of
forehead wrinkles, wider pal-Reagan fissure, decrease corneal reflex, Bells
