Quiz 2 Practice Quiz — The Cranial Nerves

82 questions on the twelve cranial nerves, written from the neurological assessment lab deck, the cranial nerves assessment form, and the exam blueprint.

What the quiz actually asks for, in the instructor’s words: “Understand the CN #, name, and application of the nerve testing.” So most of these items run in the direction the paper runs — here is what the nurse did, name the nerve — rather than asking for definitions. The blueprint names six nerves by name, plus PERRLA, as hints, and PERRLA is the only item it breaks into three parts (testing, application, consensual reaction); those are weighted most heavily here. Items marked with a star are either content the deck marks with a drawn star or arrow, or content the blueprint names by name.

The real quiz: 10 questions — 9 multiple choice and 1 fill-in-the-blank — in 20 minutes. The fill-in items here ask you to produce a number or a name, not recognise one, so spell the names out.

Worth knowing before you start: you are permitted to write the acronym on the real test. Several items here are built on that, because the order is the one thing you can carry in with you.

How it works: pick an answer and the rationale appears immediately. Select-all questions need a Check click; ordering questions are answered by clicking the steps in sequence, with an Undo last if you mis-click. Fill-in questions take a word or a number. Every question is tagged with its area, and the summary tells you which areas to re-read. Nothing is saved when you close the page.

Two halves. Questions 1–30 are recall — numbers, names, sensory or motor, and which action tests which nerve. Questions 31–82 are scenario and edge-case items, built on the question shapes this course actually uses: ranking two abnormal findings, deciding whether one finding really affects another, reading the same finding two opposite ways, choosing a specific instruction over a vague but defensible one, classifying by mechanism rather than by feel, ordering actions where every option is correct, and the distractor whose reasoning is usually right. The second half is the harder practice.
