Physiological AdaptationQuestion 1 of 4,000+
A nurse is assessing a client who arrives at the emergency department with sudden onset right-sided facial drooping, arm weakness, and slurred speech. The nurse asks the client to smile and raise the eyebrows. Which cranial nerve is the nurse specifically assessing with this action?
Asking a client to smile and raise the eyebrows tests the muscles of facial expression, which are controlled by CN VII (facial); asymmetry or drooping is a critical cue in stroke recognition. CN V controls facial sensation and chewing, not expression. CN IX relates to taste and swallowing on the posterior tongue. CN XII controls tongue movement, which is assessed by asking the client to stick out the tongue, not smile.
