Study Notes
Cognitive/Sensory Assessment
- Assessing level of consciousness involves evaluating responses to verbal, light, and pain stimuli to detect alterations in mental status.
- Normal speech patterns are clear, well-paced, and coherent, and should be appropriate for the patient's educational and socioeconomic level.
- Observing general appearance, including hygiene and appropriateness of clothing to setting and weather, can help detect alterations in mental status.
- Asking direct questions related to person, place, and time helps measure patient's orientation to their immediate environment.
- Giving simple commands, such as opening and closing eyes or sticking out tongue, can help detect alterations in level of consciousness (LOC) and orientation.
Cranial Nerve Examination
- The examination involves assessing the function of the 12 cranial nerves, which innervate various structures in the head, neck, and trunk.
- Cranial nerve II (optic nerve) is tested by evaluating visual acuity, visual fields, pupillary light reflexes, and accommodation reflex.
- Cranial nerve III (oculomotor nerve) is assessed by evaluating pupil size and eye movements.
- Cranial nerve IV (trochlear nerve) is evaluated by assessing eye movements and convergence.
- Cranial nerve V (trigeminal nerve) is tested by evaluating both sensory and motor branches, including sensation and muscle function.
- Cranial nerve VI (abducens nerve) is assessed by evaluating the ability to abduct the eye.
- Cranial nerve VII (facial nerve) is tested by evaluating facial movements and sensation in the face.
- Cranial nerve VIII (vestibulocochlear nerve) is evaluated by assessing hearing and vestibular function, including nystagmus and balance.
- Cranial nerve IX (glossopharyngeal nerve) is tested by evaluating taste sensation on the back of the tongue and gag reflex.
- Cranial nerve X (vagus nerve) is assessed by evaluating swallowing and speech.
- Cranial nerve XI (accessory nerve) is evaluated by assessing shoulder and neck movements.
- Cranial nerve XII (hypoglossal nerve) is tested by evaluating tongue movement and speech.
Neurological Assessment
- Neurological assessments are essential in identifying and evaluating neurological disorders to determine the integrity and function of the nervous system.
- Sensory motor assessment and cranial nerve examination are two critical components of a neurological assessment.
Sensory Motor Assessment
- Sensory motor assessment evaluates the patient's ability to sense and interpret different stimuli and respond appropriately.
- Muscle strength and tone are assessed by asking the patient to perform various movements, such as clenching their teeth or pushing against resistance.
- Reflexes are automatic responses to specific stimuli, and examples include the knee-jerk reflex and the abdominal reflex.
- Coordination is evaluated by testing the patient's ability to perform complex movements, such as tapping their fingers or foot quickly.
- Sensation is assessed by testing the patient's ability to feel light touch, pinprick, vibration, and position sense.
