NSG 316 EXAM 2 UPDATED ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
VERIFIED 2027 EDITION
1. Cranial Nerve I: Olfactory Test
test sense of smell with familiar odor
2. Cranial Nerve II: Optic Test
test visual acuity and visual field with confrontation
3. Confrontation Test
gross measure of peripheral vision -stand 2 fett from person -have patient cover one eye, then cover your
own eye opposite to the persons covered one -hold finger as target midline between you and patient,
slowly advance to periphery -as person to say "now" as target is first seen
4. Confrontation Test: normal
50 degrees upward 90 degrees temporal 70 degrees down 60 degrees nasal
5. Cranial Nerve III, IV, VI: Oculomotor, Trochlear, Abducens Test
PERRLA 6 cardinal positions of gaze
6. PERRLA
pupils equal, round, reactive to light (direct and consensual) and accommodation
7. 6 cardinal positions of gaze
right & up right right & down left & up left left & down
8. nystagmus
back-and-forth oscillation of the eyes
9. nystagmus: amplitude
fine, medium or coarse movement
10. nystagmus: frequency
constant or fades after few beats
11. nystagmus: plane of movement
horizontal, vertical, rotary or combo
12. Cranial Nerve V: Trigeminal Test
Motor: asking the client to clench her teeth while you palpate the masseter (muscle of mastication)
Sensory- test light touch by having a client closer their eyes while you toucher her face gently with a wisp
of cotton, patient identifies location
1
, 13. What does the corneal reflex test?
CN V sensory, CN VII motor
14. Corneal reflex test
-remove contacts, bring cotton wisp from side, lightly touch cornea NORMALLY: patient blinks bilaterally
15. Cranial Nerve VII: Facial Test
Motor: have client smile, frown, puff out her cheeks, raise her eyebrows, close her eyes tightly Sensory:
anterior 2/3 taste (sugar, salt, lemon juice)
16. Cranial Nerve VIII: Vestibulocochlear Test
Whispered voice test
17. Cranial Nerve IX & X: Glossopharyngeal and Vagus Test
Motor: open mouth say "ahh" & gag reflex NORMALLY: uvula and soft palate rise in midline Sensory: CN IX
does posterior 1/3 taste
18. Cranial Nerve XI: Accessory Test
shrug shoulders
19. Cranial Nerve XII: Hypoglossal Test
say "light, tight, dynamite"
20. screening neuro exam
perform on well persons who have no significant subjective findings
21. complete neuro exam
perform on person with neuro concerns
22. neuro recheck exam
perform on person with demonstrated neuro defect, who requires period ic assessment
23. ansomia
Decrease or loss of smell occurs bilaterally
24. hemianopsia; hemianopia
Defective vision or blindness in one half of the visual field
25. ptosis
drooping eyelid
26. paresthesias
tingling, prickling, "pins & needles" (sensory loss)
27. diplopia
double vision
28. dysphagia
difficulty swallowing
29. What are the test to evaluate cerebellar function?
Balance Test (Gait) Romberg Test Rapid Alternating Movements (RAM)
