Extract:

Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client's cranial nerve VII. Which of the following responses should the nurse expect?

A. The client's pupils constrict in response to light. B. The client's tongue is in a midline position: C. The client has a symmetrical smile. D. The client turns their head against resistance.

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. When assessing this nerve, the nurse should expect a symmetrical smile as a normal response. This indicates that both sides of the face are functioning equally.

Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they are associated with other cranial nerves. Pupillary constriction (
A) is controlled by cranial nerve II, tongue midline position (
B) is controlled by cranial nerve XII, and head turning against resistance (
D) is controlled by cranial nerve XI. The correct assessment for cranial nerve VII specifically involves observing for a symmetrical smile.
