I would first enter the room wash my hand and introduce myself to the patient. Then I would verify the patient’s name and date of birth. I would explain that the neurological examination is for the assessment of the patient’s ability to respond to neurons and motor sensory. This would include the patient’s medical history review, age; drug history, family and social history; and physical examination to ensure that the patient’s reflex is responding correctly, but this would not include the deeper investigation such as neuroimaging unless some abnormality have been found. ~Subjective: I would check the patent some of the cranial nerves assessment and see if she has any pain. -I would give my patient a piece of paper with a lemon cent on it

I was able to check the patient in a systemic order and to make her feel comfortable around me allowing openness and honesty about medical conditions.

Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to evaluate the 4 cranial nerves that are used for vision and eye movement based on their functions by performing several tests. With that being said, there are 12 cranial nerves in the body. The first cranial nerve is known as Olfactory Nerve I. This nerve is used for smell.

Every behavior begins with biology. Our behaviors, as well as our thoughts and feelings, are produced by the actions of our brains, nerves, muscles, and glands. In this chapter we will begin our journey into the world of psychology by considering the biological makeup of the human being, including the most remarkable of human organs—the brain. We’ll consider the structure of the brain and also the methods that psychologists use to study the brain and to understand how it works.
I did assessment on my daughter. I walk into the room and my first assessment was her safety and the environment she is surrounded by. I washed my hand and introduce myself and what I will be doing to the patient, and ask the patient for her name and date of birth. I gave a privacy and started to check for vital signs.

The examination will begin as soon as Jenny enters the clinic. As Jenny walks into the clinic I will be observing several things. I will be looking to see if Jenny is guarding any region of her body, I will be observing her gait pattern, I will be looking for any braces or assisted devices and I will be looking to see if Jenny is in any kind of pain through facial expressions. The reason why I will be observing is because, if I can notice something about Jenny that seems a little concerning, I then can ask questions about it during the interview to gain further knowledge about the condition as to what’s wrong. Once Jenny was checked in and situated, I would begin the patient interview. During the interview, I would ask
Like a perfect automaton, the nurse proceeds to measure vital signs and note her findings with as little human interaction with you as is possible. After the nurse has completed her tasks, you must wait until the doctor pops his head in, nurse's records in hand. The doctor then proceeds to ask you some variation of the stock doctor question: "What seems to be the problem today?"
