Summary

Objective assessment of the nervous system is an extensive process involving assessment of each of the 12 cranial nerves, cerebellar function, the sensory system, reflexes and mental status. At each step, specific tests must be performed with results documented, always with an alertness for abnormal neurological findings that will require additional follow-up evaluation. Knowledge of these specific tests and the ability to identify abnormal results is an important skill for the nurse to develop. This program demonstrates and describes a step-by-step approach for collecting objective data for use in an assessment of the nervous system
