STUDENTS’ GUIDE on
Clinical Skills – Cranial Nerve Testing (CN I to VI)
Objectives of the activity:
1. To introduce the clinical application of one’s knowledge on the anatomy and functions of the first six cranial nerves
2. To guide the students during the practice on doing the neurological examination of the cranial nerves
3. To provide a venue for the faculty to give feedbacks on the actual students’ performance on a specific task to be performed
Instructions to the Students:
1. Please read the content of this guide prior to the actual activity. One may refer to the standard references for further skills
refinement.
2. During the Demo:
- The faculty staff will demonstrate the technique of cranial nerve (first 6 CN) testing to the entire class (or by group) with a
normal subject/volunteer student
- Emphasis will be made on the uniformity of the performance of the clinical task/ technique for standardization
- Queries may be asked and will be entertained by the faculty
3. During the Return-demo:
- You will be grouped and the tasks will be performed among yourselves
- Please observe a specific time frame for the performance of each segment of the clinical skills
- Make use of the “guide” below for the standard procedures; variations of the techniques may be noted
- The faculty will constantly check on the return-demo and your group will given feedbacks
4. A separate date for the evaluation of the clinical skills is in place (check on the schedule of activities). During the separate
evaluation activity, students will be evaluated by the assigned faculty staff based on the parameters of the EVALUATION
FORM for Clinical Skills (attached). Absent student (unexcused) will be given a score of zero.

Cranial Nerve II – Optic Nerve (emphasis will only be on the Gross Confrontational
Test)
Procedure:
1. Explain to the subject the procedure to be done; confront the patient by standing
approximately 50 cm (~20 inches) away in front of the subject, instruct the him/her to look
directly into the your (examiner’s) eye (eye to eye). For screening purposes, you may test
the visual fields without covering any of the subject’s eye
2. Option may include examination of the visual fields of the eyes separately, as follows: start
with your left eye directly in line with the patient’s right eye; the subject covers his/her left
eye with the left hand
3. Hold up your fingers just outside your own peripheral field, hold your fingers equidistant
between your eye and the patient’s
4. Ideally the finger should extend beyond the perimeter of the field. Wiggle the finger slowly
and move it very slowly toward the central field
5. Request the patient to say “ NOW” (or point at the wiggling finger) as soon as he/she sees your wiggling finger. Try to match the perimeter of the
patient’s visual field against your own
6. Test all visual field quadrants of each eye separately, each time starting at the limit of the field
Cranial Nerves III, IV, and VI – Oculomotor, Trochlear and Abducens nerves (Testing for Extraocular muscle movements)
Procedure:
1. Explain to the subject the procedure to be done; observe and note if ptosis/eyelid drooping is present
2. Prior to examination of range of movement of the extraocular muscles, explain to the subject that he/she has to follow your finger (or much better,
a pen) using only his/her eyes without moving the head
3. Establish propioceptive link (hold subject’s head to avoid movement)
4. Ask the subject to follow you finger/pencil as you sweep through the six cardinal directions of gaze. Please refer to the image at side for your
guidance on the cardinal movements.
5. Making a wide H in the air, lead the patient’s gaze (1) to the patient’s extreme right, (2) to the right and upward, and (3) down on the right; then (4)
without pausing in the middle, to the extreme left, (5) to the left and upward, and (6) down on the left.
A. Sensory - Testing for Fine Touch (using a wisp of cotton or tip of a tissue paper)
1. After explaining to the subject what you intend to perform, ask him/her to close his/her eyes during the
sensory testing
2. Using a wisp of cotton or tip of a tissue paper, lightly touch the subject’s/patient’s face per division
(ophthalmic, maxillary, and mandibular) of the trigeminal nerve; compare the right with the left fine touch
perception- check for symmetry (assess equal perception per corresponding division of the trigeminal
nerve)
B. Sensory - Testing for Pain (using a freshly fractured/broken tongue depressor; disposable
sharp-edged object)
1. Instruct the subject that you will apply something uncomfortable on his/her face and ask him/her whether it is sharp or dull
2. Follow the testing of the distributions of the trigeminal (as in the testing for fine touch); always check for symmetry
EVALUATION TOOL
RATING SCALE FOR CLINICAL SKILLS
Topic: Cranial Nerve Testing (Cranial Nerves I to VI)
Instructions to the Evaluator:
1. Read the components of the evaluation tool below and assess the performance of individual students on the assigned
task (GLOBAL ASSESSMENT)
2. Flexibility on the scoring of the performance per parameter may be allowed based on the prudent judgement of the
evaluator; allow 1-2 minutes to accomplish the entire task per student
3. Absent student (unexcused) must be given a score of zero (0)
Score: 75 and Score: 76-80 Score: 81-85 Score: 86-90 Score: 91-95 Score: 96-100
