Q

CN I (olfactory)

A
  • only tested when frontal lobe tumor is suspected
  • maybe damaged in pts with closed head injuries, nasal obstruction, viral infections and can be abnormal in PD, Alzhiemers, and MS

Q

CN II (Optic)

A
  • visual acuity (test with hand card)
  • color vision (loss of color esp RED is important symptom of optic neuritis)
  • visual fields (can be tested by counting fingers in each quadrant)
  • visual extinction (to detect neglect)

Q

how to test CN V

A
  • palpate the masseter mms as the pt bites down hard

Q

CN VII (facial)

A
  • has 2 major branches for upper and lower face
  • lower face receives unilateral innervation from the contralateral side of the brain
  • upper face received bilateral innervation from right and left corticobulbar tracts

Q

LMN lesions cause..

A

weakness involving the whole ipsilateral face

17
Q

CN VIII (auditory)

A
  • sensory
  • originates in inner ear
  • vestibular branch carries impulses for balance
  • cochlear branch carrier impulses for hearing
18
Q

CN IX (glossopharyngeal)

A
  • innervates stylopharyngeus mms which assists in elevation of the pharynx and larynx
  • plays a role in resonance and phonation by shaping the pharynx
  • contributes to gag reflex
  • does not innervate an isolated function so is tested with CN X
19
Q

CN X (vagus)

A

means WANDERER

-long nerve with many branches serving various parts of the body: larynx, intestines, heart, and velum

20
Q

3 branches of CN X important to speech

A
  • pharyngeal nerve branch
  • external superior laryngeal nerve branch
  • recurrent nerve branch
21
Q

how to test CN x/IX

A
  • does the palate elevate symmetrically when the pt says AH
  • does the pt gag when the posterior pharynx is brushed?
  • palate elevation and the gag reflex are impaired in lesions involving IX or X, the neuromuscular junction or the pharyngeal mms
22
Q

CN XI (spinal accessory)

A
  • major function is to help turn, tilt, and thrust the head forward
  • supplies innervation for the trapezius and sternocleidomastoid
  • related to POSTURE for speech and feeding
23
Q

testing CN XI

A
  • put your hands on the sides of your patients head
  • tell the patient to move his head from side to side
  • apply only light pressure when the head is moved
24
Q

CN XII (hypoglossal)

A
  • provides motor innervation for all intrinsic mms of the tongue and MOST extrinsic
  • supplies mms of tongue and surrounding the hyoid bone and contribute to swallowing and speech
25
Q

testing CN XII

A
  • stick out tongue and move from side to side
  • strength can be tested by having the pt push the tongue against a tongue blade
  • p^t^k^
26
Q

CN XII things to note when testing

A
  • atrophy or fasiculations of the tongue while at rest (indicative of LMN lesions)
  • when pt sticks tongue out straight, does it curve?
  • unilateral tongue weakness causes the tongue to deviate toward the WEAK side
27
Q

CN V, VII, IX, and XIII testing

A
  • is the pts speech hoarse, slurred, quiet, breathy, nasal, low or high pitched?
  • abnormal articulation of speech can occur in lesions involving the mms of arctic, the neuromuscular junction, or the peripheral or central portions of CN V, VII, IX, and XIII
