1.
do test gag reflex in comatose patient?: yes, we do
2.
how do you test for optic nerve?: ask them to read something w/ and w/o corrective lenses.
3.
how to conduct cranial nerve III, IV, and VI?: tell them to follow your finger, make sure both eyes are moving in the same direction and at the same time. test to see if the pupil constrict @ the same degree
4.
what are glossopharingeal and vagus nerve responsible?: responsible for raising the soft palate of the mouth and gag reflex.
5.
what are included in the optic test?: assess visual acuity, visual field (peripheral vision), and fundoscopic exam
6.
what are the cranial nerve?: olfactory, optic, ocular motor, trochclear, trigeminal, abducens, facial, vestibucochlear, glossopharyngeal, vagus, accessory, hypoglossal
7.
what do cranial nerve: III, IV, and VI do?: tell the pupil to constrict. control eye movement (opening and closing. control your ability to open your eye lids
8.
what does accessory or spinal accessory nerve do?: it's a motor nerve. innervates the muscles which permit shrugging of the shoulders and turning head laterally.
9.
what does facial nerve do?: supplies motor branches to the facial expression muscle: helping your face move
10.
What does trigeminal nerve do?: it's a sensory and motor nerve. Sensory to the face and motor to the muscle of mastication
11.
what does vestibulochoclear do?: it's innervating the hearing apparatus of the ear
12.
what happen in conductive hearing loss?: bone conduction is better than air conduction, it's a rinne's negative result
13.
What is accessory or spinal accessory nerve?: it's cranial nerve XI.
14.
what is facial nerve?: it's a cranial nerve #7. it's a sensory and motor nerve
15.
what is glossopharyingeal and vagus nerve?: they are nerve IX and X. they are both sensory and motor nerve
16.
what is hypoglossal nerve?: it's a cranial nerve XII. it's responsible for tongue movement. If there is injury, the tongue will deviate toward the side of injury
17.
What is oculomotor nerve, trochlear nerve, and abducens do?: it's cranial nerve III, IV, and VI respectively
18.
What is olfactory nerve?: cranial nerve I. sense of smell. Sensory neuron
19.
what is optic nerve?: cranial nerve II. detect lights. Sensory neuron
20.
what is the rinne's test?: in normal patient, air conduction is better than bone conduction
21.
what is the Weber test?: it's testing for asymmetrical hearing loss. Do something right in the central, and let the patients tell you which side do they hear better. in normal patient, or patient w/ symmetrical hearing loss: it should be the same.
22.
what is trigeminal nerve?: it's a cranial nerve V
23.
what is vestibulocochlear?: it's cranial nerve VIII
24.
what treatment can worse sx of facial nerve damage peripherally?: tx w/ antiviral therapy or prednisone can worsen or reverse the sx of peripheral in a few months
25.
when is the gag reflex important?: when patient has acute stroke, some speech impairment, and recurrent pneumonia
26.
which one peripheral lesion or central lesion can be reverse?: peripheral
27.
which one: peripheral lesion or central lesion can't be reverse?: central
28.
which test is used to distinguish central vs peripheral dysfunction?: facial nerve test
