Test: Human Anatomy and Physiology
A 65-year old nursing home resident is referred to you from her primary care physician, who is concerned that she may have a neurological deficit. As you proceed to test her cranial nerves, you note her blink reflex is absent (she doesn’t blink when you touch her cornea with a cotton swab). In order to figure out what is wrong, you ask her to make different facial expressions including shutting her eyes tightly, which she successfully does.
| 1. | Now confident that you know which cranial nerve is involved, what other deficit do you expect to see in this patient? |
Lack of eye movement
Inability to turn her head
Impaired sense of smell
Absent gag reflex
Sensory deficits in the face
