Question 1 of 5
The patient reports an inability to taste. What is the most appropriate action for the nurse to take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The sense of taste is primarily mediated by the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII) and the glossopharyngeal nerve (cranial nerve IX). Evaluating sensory function, including taste, is the most appropriate action to assess the patient's complaint. Testing specific cranial nerves like the hypoglossal (XII) or spinal accessory (XI) is not directly related to taste.
