Question 1 of 5
A nurse is performing a neurological examination on a client as part of a complete physical assessment. The nurse should identify that cranial nerve XI(11) is intact when the client performs which of the following actions?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Shrugs his shoulders. Cranial nerve XI, also known as the accessory nerve, controls the movement of the trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscles, which are responsible for shoulder shrugging. By asking the client to shrug his shoulders, the nurse can assess the integrity of cranial nerve XI.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they are associated with other cranial nerves. Smiling symmetrically is controlled by cranial nerve VII (facial nerve), closing eyes tightly is controlled by cranial nerve V (trigeminal nerve), and identifying a familiar scent is related to cranial nerve I (olfactory nerve).
