Detailed explanation-1: -Cranial nerve (CN) I is the olfactory nerve, which allows the sense of smell. Testing of CN I is done by having the patient identify familiar odors with eyes closed, testing each nostril separately. An inability to smell an odor is a significant finding, indicating dysfunction of this nerve.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cranial Nerve VII – Facial Nerve Ask the patient to smile, show teeth, close both eyes, puff cheeks, frown, and raise eyebrows. Look for symmetry and strength of facial muscles.
Detailed explanation-3: -Which type of assessment of the cranial nerves of the eyes should the nurse perform in order to evaluate cranial nerve II? The nurse should perform a visual acuity test to evaluate cranial nerve II, as it is a cranial nerve of the eyes that transmits information to the brain.
