Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client's cranial nerve VII. Which of the following responses should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: The client has a symmetrical smile. Cranial nerve VII, also known as the facial nerve, controls facial expression muscles. During the assessment, the nurse should expect the client to have a symmetrical smile if the nerve is functioning properly. This is because cranial nerve VII innervates the muscles responsible for facial expressions, including the muscles involved in smiling. If the smile is asymmetrical, it may indicate dysfunction of the cranial nerve VII.
Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not directly relate to the assessment of cranial nerve VII. Pupillary constriction (
A) is controlled by cranial nerve II and III, tongue position (
B) is controlled by cranial nerve XII, and head turning against resistance (
D) is associated with cranial nerve XI.
