A cranial reflex that is often used to test the sensory function of the trigeminal nerve is the?
corneal
What is a Nerve conduction velocity test?
A test that measures the time it takes a nerve impulse to travel a specific distance over the nerve after electronic stimulation.
What is the name of the cranial nerve that is tested in the visual acuity test?
The cranial nerve that is tested in the visual acuity test is the optic nerve, also known as cranial nerve II. It is responsible for transmitting visual information from the retina to the brain.
What does a esophageal function test based on manometry involve?
the patient swallows a thin tube carrying a device that senses changes in pressures in the esophagus. Readings are taken at rest and during the process of swallowing.
List the reasons for performing a peripheral nerve functions assessment?
A peripheral nerve function test is performed to test the nerve function in the peripheral nerve. This test is often performed to when there is pain or weakness in the limbs.

How does a nurse assess cranial nerve function?
It entirely depends on which cranial nerve you are testing, having coffee in an unlabeled cup and blinding folding th pt is one test, tracing the pts face with a cotton tipped applicator is another test. There is a test for each cranial nerve.

What is ely's test?
Ely's test is a neurological examination used to assess for carpal tunnel syndrome. It involves applying pressure to the median nerve at the wrist while the patient's elbow is extended and wrist is flexed for 60 seconds. A positive test result includes tingling or paresthesia in the distribution of the median nerve.
What is nerve conduction velocity test?
Nerve conduction velocity test-- A test that measures the time it takes a nerve impulse to travel a specific distance over the nerve after electronic stimulation.
What does the initial examination of a patient suffering from low back pain involve?
The examination includes several tests that involve moving the patient's legs in specific positions to test for nerve root irritation or disk herniation.
Ulnar nerve test for loss of function?
Ulnar nerve typically supplies the intrinsic muscles of the hand. Hence the tests for ulnar nerve are based on the functions performed by these muscles. The intrinsic muscles or interossei are concerned with gripping function of the fingers. So things like holding a card or cigarette between 2 fingers is with the help of these muscles. A generalized loss of coordination of hands causing clumsy hands is often seen with ulnar nerve diseases or palsy. Tests like, froment's sign, card test, and so on, are used for evaluation of ulnar nerve injury.
