LPN Fundamentals Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Bell's palsy is due to the injuries of which cranial nerve :
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Bell's palsy causes unilateral facial weakness due to cranial nerve dysfunction. The trigeminal nerve (choice A, CN V) controls sensation and chewing, not facial movement. The trochlear nerve (choice B, CN IV) moves the eye, irrelevant here. The facial nerve (choice C, CN VII) innervates facial muscles; its injury (often idiopathic or viral) leads to Bell's palsy, with symptoms like drooping mouth or eye. The hypoglossal nerve (choice D, CN XII) moves the tongue. C is correct, as facial nerve damage is the established cause. Nurses assess symmetry, support eye care (due to incomplete closure), and educate on recovery, typically spontaneous within months.
