Cranial Nerve 2 (Optic): Functional Assessment –Acuity •Using hand held card (held @ 14 inches) or Snellen wall chart, assess each eye separately. Allow patient to wear glasses. •Direct patient to read aloud line w/smallest lettering that they’re able to see. Hand Held Acuity Card
The One-Minute Cranial Nerve Examination Similar in intent to the “one-minute physical examination,” this screening discipline is meant to provide reasonable reassurance that the patient has no major cranial nerve deficit. The survey, based upon reading aloud, is quickly conducted. If the patient without neurological symptoms
The cranial nerves control most of the usually can be assessed: sensory and motor function in the head and neck in addition to peripheral nerves that exit from the midbrain or the brainstem. Each cra-nial nerve has either a sensory, motor, or a. CN III: Oculomotor (pupillary reflex) . CN V: Trigeminal (corneal reflex) .
Visual acuity is formally assessed using a standard Snellen chart at a distance of 6m: Ask the patient to cover each eye in turn (you may need to do this for them) ask the patient to read the smallest line of letters they can. Informal testing involves asking the patient to read a word on e.g. your name-badge one eye at a time.
Cranial nerves provide sensory and motor innervation to numerous structures that are important for speech, phona-tion, resonance, and swallowing. They also supply innervation to voluntary and involuntary muscles. An understand-ing of the cranial nerves is essential to the practice of speech-language pathology because they provide valuable in-
