A. Smell identification
B. Visual acuity and visual field testing
C. Shoulder shrug
D. Tongue movement
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: CN II controls vision, tested through acuity and visual fields.
A. The confrontation test evaluates:

A. Pupils equal, round, reactive to light and accommodation
B. Peripheral eye reflex and retinal light response analysis
C. Pupils equal, reactive, responsive, light adjustment
D. Posterior eye response reflex and lens adjustment
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: It describes normal pupil function.
A. The six cardinal positions of gaze assess:
A. CN I function
B. CN III, IV, VI function
C. CN V function
D. CN VIII function
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: These cranial nerves control eye movement.
A. Nystagmus refers to:
