What is Expressive Aphasia? - ✅✅Inability to produce language
What part of the brain is affected in Expressive Aphasia? - ✅✅Inferior posterior
frontal lobe
A patient says that he is unable to understand written words on a poster, what type
of Aphasia is this? - ✅✅Visual Receptive Aphasia
What is affected area of the brain that occurs in Visual Receptive Aphasia? -
✅✅Parietal and Occipital Lobes
The patient understands what I am saying to them, when asked to write "the cat in
the hat" in a piece of paper, they are only able to draw scribbles. What is the
affected area of the brain? - ✅✅Posterior Frontal Lobe
A patient is unable to identify their right from their left eye, which of the following
is this?
,A. Agnosia
B. Apraxia
C. Aphasia - ✅✅A. Agnosia
Inability to recognize familar objects or sounds despite having the sensory ability
to do so.
Patient is unable to perform the task of brushing their teeth for the NP evaluating.
Which of the follow is this?
A. Agnosia
B. Apraxia
C. Aphasia - ✅✅B. Apraxia
This is the inability to perform learned motor tasks, even through the desire and
physical capacity to perform the movement are present.
How would you test Cranial Nerve II? - ✅✅Optic Nerve: Snellen chart and
check peripheral vision
,Which cranial nerve is responsible for Eye movement (specifically down and
inward)? - ✅✅Trochlear Nerve (CN IV)
Which cranial nerve is responsible for lateral eye movement? - ✅✅Abducens
Nerve (CN VI)
How do you test facial sensation and motor function of the jaw muscles? What
cranial nerve is responsible for these motor functions and sensory functions? -
✅✅Trigeminal Nerve (CN V)
Motor: Ask patient to clench their teeth while palpating the jaw for strength.
Sensory: Lightly touch different parts of the face either a cotton swab to assess
sensation.
The NP asks the patient to smile, frown, puff out cheeks, raise eyebrows, and close
eyes tightly. What cranial nerve is being tested? - ✅✅Facial Nerve (CN VII)
How would you test Cranial Nerve XI? - ✅✅Spinal Accessory Nerve
Ask the patient to shrug their shoulders and turn their head against resistance to
evaluate the strength of the trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscles
, How do you test Cranial Nerve VIII? - ✅✅Acoustic (Vestibulocochlear) Nerve
Hearing: perform a whisper test by whispering words behind the patient and
having them repeat the words
Balance: Test with the Romberg Test
What is the function of the Vagus Nerve? - ✅✅Control of the muscles for voice
and swallowing, sensory input from the thoracic and abdominal organs
The NP is checking for the gag reflex. The NP instructs the patient to say "ah"
while checking for symmetry in addition to asking them to swallow. What Cranial
Nerve are they testing? - ✅✅Glassopharyngeal Nerve (CN IX)
How do you test Cranial Nerve XII? - ✅✅Hypoglossal Nerve
Ask the patient to stick out their tongue and move it side to side. Look for
symmetry, tremors, and strength by asking the patient to push the tongue against
their cheek
CN I - sensory, motor, or both? - ✅✅sensory, smell
