47
Q

How to test for olfactory n?

A

cotton ball with alcohol, looking for a sniffing action

48
Q

How to test for optic n?

A

menace response (CN II sensory, CN VII motor), obstacle course, pupillary light reflex (CN II sensory, CN III motor)

49
Q

How to test for Oculomotor n?

A

look for tracking, strabismus if DVM rectus muscles affected, droopy eyelid if levator palpebrae superioris is affected, oblique deviation of eye if ventral oblique is affected, absence of miosis (pupillary contraction) when light shined in

50
Q

How to test for Trochelar n?

A

oblique deviation if dorsal oblique is affected

51
Q

How to test Opthalmic br of Trigeminal?

A

corneal reflex, palpebral reflex on medial canthus

52
Q

How to test Maxillary br of Trigeminal?

A

lateral canthus palpebral reflex
upper lip/nasal mucosa response

53
Q

How to test Mandibular br of Trigeminal?

A

lower lip/jaw (pinch and see response) to test sensory
atrophy of muscles of mastication
look for drop jaw

54
Q
A
55
Q

How to test for Abducens n?

A

corneal reflex - if no 3rd eyelid comes up then test the opthalmic br of trigeminal
medial strabismus if lateral rectus muscle innervation affected

56
Q

How to test for Facial n?

A

mainly testing motor- look for facial expression! eyebrows, ears, palpebrae, lips, etc.

57
Q

How to test for Vestibulocochlear n?

A

vestibular portion - balance, posture, etc. May see circling, head tilt, nistagmus…
cochlear portion - test hearing, make noise (out of sight)

gag reflex - open the mouth and put finger toward back of the tongue, looking for a wretch
(gag reflex sensation of CN IX and motor of CN X)

Q

How to test for Vagus n?

A

listen to HR and gut sounds, will need to hear something very wrong like tachycardia (HR increase w lesion, gut sounds decrease w lesion)
test motor with gag reflex
often don’t test ear canal
