Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
The hypoglossal nerve (cranial nerve XII) is responsible for the movement of the tongue for swallowing, movement of food during eating, chewing, and speech. The trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V) is responsible for facial sensation and temporal and masseter strength. The facial nerve (cranial nerve VII) is responsible for the sense of taste and facial expressions. The vagus nerve (cranial nerve X) innervates the muscles of the throat and mouth for swallowing and talking.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
The sense of smell assessment is being demonstrated in the photograph. The olfactory nerve (cranial nerve I), which is responsible for the sense of smell, is being evaluated. Cranial nerve II is the optic nerve. Assessment of cranial nerve II (optic nerve) would involve assessment of vision. Cranial nerve III (oculomotor nerve) involves the assessment of papillary reactivity and the extrinsic muscles of the eyes. Cranial nerve IV (trochlear nerve) assessment would require assessing the movements of the eyes. This would include instructing the client to follow an object such as the examiner's finger with the eyes.
