Question 1 of 10
1. Question
A 56-year-old patient is recovering from a mild stroke and is undergoing a comprehensive neurological assessment. The nurse is particularly interested in evaluating the patient’s ability to perceive various sensory stimuli. While performing the assessment, the nurse uses different modalities to stimulate the patient’s sensory nerve endings, such as using a tuning fork for vibration (testing mechanoreceptors) and ice for cold sensation (testing thermoreceptors). The nurse then poses a question to the medical student accompanying the assessment, aiming to ascertain the student’s understanding of sensory physiology. While assessing a patient’s sensory function, the nurse explains the concept of specialized cells in the body that can respond to various stimuli by generating action potentials. What are these sensory nerve endings or specialized cells called?

Question 2 of 10
2. Question
During a comprehensive skin examination on a 45-year-old patient with diabetes, the nurse assesses the patient’s tactile sensitivity, particularly in the feet, due to concerns about peripheral neuropathy, a common complication of diabetes. While applying varied pressure to different areas of the skin, the nurse explains to the patient the various receptors responsible for the sensation of touch and pressure. As part of the educational session, the nurse poses a question about the type of receptors that are specially adapted to detect continuous pressure deep within the skin. While conducting a skin examination on a patient, the nurse educates them about a type of deeper tactile receptors that play a crucial role in detecting continuous pressure in the skin. What are these receptors called?

Question 3 of 10
3. Question
During a routine health assessment at a nursing clinic, a 65-year-old patient, who recently experienced a loss of smell after recovering from a viral infection, inquired about the intricacies of the olfactory system. The patient is curious about how exactly the sense of smell travels from the nostrils to the brain. The nurse, eager to satisfy the patient’s curiosity and offer a deeper understanding of the body’s mechanisms, illustrates the process through a series of steps, posing a question about the correct sequence of events. During a nursing assessment, a patient asks about the neuronal pathway for olfaction (sense of smell). To provide an accurate response, which of the following best describes the neuronal pathway for olfaction?

Question 4 of 10
4. Question
While working in a neurology clinic, a nurse encounters a patient, Mrs. Anderson, who was recently diagnosed with ageusia, the loss of the sense of taste. The patient, a culinary enthusiast, is naturally distressed by her diagnosis. To gain a better understanding of her condition and potential treatment avenues, Mrs. Anderson wishes to understand the anatomy of the taste system in detail. To aid her understanding, the nurse describes the various components involved in the taste sensation and tests her knowledge with a question. During a patient’s assessment, the nurse discusses the sense of taste and the structures responsible for detecting taste stimuli. What are these sensory structures called?

5. Question
Mr. Carter, a 64-year-old retired history teacher, visits the ophthalmology clinic for a routine eye checkup. During his conversation with the nurse, he mentioned that he recently read about the importance of various structures in and around the eye and their contribution to vision and eye protection. Intrigued by his interest, the nurse decides to delve deeper into the topic, highlighting not only the main structures responsible for vision but also the accessory structures that serve supportive roles. To gauge Mr. Carter’s understanding and to further educate him, the nurse poses a question regarding the accessory structures of the eye. During a patient’s ophthalmic examination, the nurse discusses the importance of accessory structures that protect, lubricate, and move the eye. Which of the following is NOT considered an accessory structure of the eye?
CorrectIncorrect -
