I’ve selected the cranial nerve V or cranial nerve 5. This is known as the trigeminal nerve (Jarvis et al., 2020). The way to assess this cranial nerve is to incorporate motor and sensory functions (Jarvis et al., 2020). Assessing motor function is done by utilizing touch to palpate as a person clenches their teeth. (Jarvis et al., 2020). Muscle strength is normally equal. Additionally, one would attempt to “separate the jaws by pushing down on the chin; normally you cannot” (Jarvis et al., 2020). Abnormal findings present as decreased strength unilaterally or bilaterally, pain associated with the clenching of teeth, and weakness on one side that can occur with pons or cancer (Jarvis et al., 2020). To test sensory function, the nurse will use a cotton wisp to stroke over the patient’s forehead, cheeks, and chin. (Jarvis et al., 2020). The patient alerts you when the touch is felt. A decrease in sensation is also an abnormality that can occur with stroke this is often accompanied by aphasia and hemiparesis (Jarvis, et al., 2020).
