Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client's cranial nerves as part of a neurological examination. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to assess cranial nerve III?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct action to assess cranial nerve III (oculomotor nerve) is checking the pupillary response to light (
Choice
D). This nerve controls the constriction of the pupil in response to light stimulation. By shining a light into each eye and observing for pupil constriction, the nurse can evaluate the function of cranial nerve III. Testing visual acuity (
Choice
A) is related to cranial nerve II (optic nerve). Observing for facial symmetry (
Choice
B) is more relevant to cranial nerve VII (facial nerve). Eliciting the gag reflex (
Choice
C) is associated with cranial nerves IX (glossopharyngeal) and X (vagus), not cranial nerve III.
Therefore, checking the pupillary response to light is the correct action to assess cranial nerve III, while the other choices are not directly related to this specific cranial nerve assessment.
