  1. Neurology - 2 Part 2

  2. Intellectual Function • Calculations • Count backwards from 100 • Spell backwards • Integrative capacity • How are a cat and a wolf alike? • Judgment • Interpret a well known proverb • A bird in the hand is worth more than two in the bush. • The early bird catches the worm

  3. Intellectual Function • Judgment • You arrive home without a house key, what alternatives do you have? • Short term memory test? • 3 words • Repeat in 5 minutes • Amnesia • Loss of memory

  4. Thought Content • Are the thoughts…? • Spontaneous • Natural • Clear • Relevant • Coherent

  5. Thought Content • Fixed ideas • Preoccupations

  6. Hallucinations • False perceptions (sensory) • Does not have an external stimuli • Patients see, hear, taste things that are not really there

  7. Illusions • Has a real external stimuli, but the patient misinterprets the stimuli

  8. Delusions • False beliefs

  9. Emotional Status • Affect/ Mood • Consistent • Appropriate • Facial expressions, body language

  10. Perception • Agnosia • The inability to interpret or recognize objects • Visual • Occipital • Auditory • Temporal • Tactile • Parietal lobe

  11. Motor Ability • Ask to perform a small task • Understanding + motor strength • Movement smooth, coordinated • Involuntary movements • Gait

  12. Language Ability • Spoken and written • Aphasia • Expressive • Motor aphasia • Broca’s aphasia • Receptive • Sensory aphasia • Wernicke’s aphasia • Global

  13. Language ability • Dysphasia / aphasia • Dysphagia / aphagia • Dysarthria • Imperfect articulation of speech

  14. Terminology • Anosmia • I - Inability to smell • Anisocoria • J - Inequality of pupil size • Agnosia • F - Inability to determine meaning or significance of sensory stimulus • Apraxia • G - Inability to performed learned movements, defect in motor planning • Analgesia • M - Loss of pain sensation • Anesthesia • A - Absence of sensation

  15. Terminology • Astereognosis • H - Inability to recognize form of object by touch • Ataxia • L - Lack of coordination of movement • Diplopia • C - Double vision • Dysarthria • K - Lack of coordination in articulating speech • Dyskinesia • E - Impairment of power of voluntary movement, resulting in fragmentary on incomplete movements

  16. Terminology • Dysphagia • B - Difficulty swallowing • Homonymous hemianopsia • N - Loss of vision in one side of visual field • Ophthalmoplegia • P - Paralysis of eye muscles • Opisthotonus • D - Extreme arching of back with retraction of head • Paraplegia • O - Paralysis of lower extremities

  17. Small group Questions • What does battle’s sign indicate • What does raccoon eyes indicate • What is rhinorrhea and how do you know they have it? • What is Otorrhea and what does it indicate? • Described decorticated and Decerebrated posturing and what they each indicate • What are the three areas of orientation • How do you test judgment? Short term memory • Differentiate be hallucinations, delusions and illusions.

  18. Cranial Nerves • 12 pairs • PNS • You must know: • The name • The number • The order • The function • S/M • How to assess

  19. Cranial Nerves • Number -1 • Name: Olfactory • Sensory • Function • Sense of smell • Assessment • Identify familiar odor

  20. Cranial Nerves • Number -2 • Name: Optic • Sensory • Function • Visual Acuity • Assessment • Snellen eye chart

  21. Cranial Nerves • Number -3 • Name: Oculomotor • Motor • Function • Muscles that move the eye, lid, papillary constriction, lens accommodation • Assessment • Test for ocular rotation, nystagmus, Papillary reflexes, check for ptosis

  22. Nystagmus: • Involuntary osculation of the eyeball

  23. Ptosis • Drooping eyelid

  24. Papillary reflexes • Pupil changing in size when exposed to light

  25. Cranial Nerves • Number -4 • Name: Trochlear • Motor • Function • Muscles the move the eye, lid, papillary constriction, lens accommodation • Assessment • Test for ocular rotation, nystagmus, Papillary reflexes, check for ptosis

  26. Cranial Nerves • Number -5 • Name: Trigeminal • Sensory & Motor • Function • Facial sensation, corneal reflex, mastication • Assessment • Distinguish between sharp and dull on face • Check blink reflex • Have patient clinch and move jaw from side to side, feel jaw strength

  27. Cranial Nerves • Number -6 • Name: Abducens • Motor • Function • Muscles the move the eye, lid, papillary constriction, lens accommodation • Assessment • Test for ocular rotation, nystagmus, Papillary reflexes, check for ptosis

  28. Cranial Nerves • Number - 7 • Name: Facial • Sensory & Motor • Function • Facial expression and muscle movement • Salivation and tearing • Taste • Assessment • Observe for symmetry while pt performs facial movement • Stick out tongue • Distinguish between sugar and salt

  29. Cranial Nerves • Number -8 • Name: Acoustic • Sensory • Function • Hearing & equilibrium • Assessment • Simple hearing test

  30. Cranial Nerves • Number -9 • Name: Glossopharyngeal • Sensory & Motor • Function • Taste • Sensation in pharynx and tongue • Pharyngeal muscles • Assessment • Ability to discriminate btw sugar and salt

  31. Cranial Nerves • Number -10 • Name: Vagus • Sensory & Motor • Function • Muscle of pharynx, larynx, thoracic and abdominal viscera • Parasympathetic innervations • Assessment • Gag response • Have person say “Ah….” • Symmetrical rise of uvular and soft palate • Assess swallowing

  32. Cranial Nerves • Number -11 • Name: Accessory • Motor • Function • Shoulder movement • Assessment • Strength of muscle, shrug

  33. Cranial Nerves • Number -12 • Name: Hypoglossal • Motor • Function • Tongue movement • Assessment • Check tongue strength and movement

  34. Sample quiz questions What cranial nerve is responsible for hearing and equilibrium? • Vagus • Acoustic • Glossopharyngeal • Accessory

  35. Sample Quiz Questions What Cranial nerve is responsible for tongue movement? • 6 • 8 • 10 • 12 • None of the above

  36. Sample Quiz Questions How do you test for cranial nerve number 3? • Snellen eye chart • Hearing test • Have them follow your pen with their eyes as you move it about • Have them stick out their tongue

  37. Sample Quiz Questions When you check for nystagmus, what cranial nerve are you assessing? • Olfactory • Optic • Abducens • All of the above • None of the above

  38. Sample Quiz Questions When you check someone's shoulder strength, what cranial nerve are you assessing? • 6 • 8 • 10 • 12 • None of the above
