34
Q

How do you test CN I

A

Olfactory

occlude and let patient semll something with one nostril at atime
NO noxious stimuli such as smelling salts or ammonia

35
Q

How do you test CN II

A

Optic

Visual Acuity- eye chart

Visual Fields- Confrontation (2 wiggling fingers)

Visualization of the nerves (opthalamoscopic exam)

Pupillary response (afferent II, efferent III)

36
Q

How do you test CN III

A

Oculumotor

MOtor: 4/6 muscles (inferior rectus, inferior olique, medial rectus, supieror rectus)

Convergence (ask pt to follow finger as u bring it to bridge of nose)

Elevate eyelid (levator palpebrae superioris m)

Pupillary light (direct and consensual)

37
Q

Signs to look for if CN III is affected

A

Right CN III Palsy
Ptosis (eyelid drooping)
Eye is “down and out” at rest
Pupil more dilated than opposite eye

How to test CN IV and VI

A

IV- Trochlear
VI- Abducens
(LR6,SO4)3

CN IV- superior oblique; moves eye down adn in

CN VI- Lateral rectus; moves eye into abduction

39
Q

Sings to look for if CN VI affected

A

right CN VI palsy
Excessive adduction at rest
Cannot adduct when gazing left
