NURS 6512 week 9 quiz, Walden University (Recent Solutions and Resources for multiple versions)  Question 1 2 out of 2 points The finger-to-nose test allows assessment of: Selected Answer: coordination and fine motor function. Correct Answer: coordination and fine motor function. Response Feedback: To perform the finger-to-nose test, the patient closes both eyes, touches his or her nose with the index finger, alternating hands while gradually increasing the speed. This tests coordination and fine motor skills. All of the other choices test sensory function without motor function.  Question 2 2 out of 2 points You ask the patient to follow a series of short commands to assess: Selected Answer: attention span. Correct Answer: attention span. Response Feedback: A series of short commands for the patient to follow will test attention span rather than judgment, arithmetic calculations, abstract reasoning, or emotional stability.  Question 3 2 out of 2 points As Mr. B. enters the room, you observe that his gait is wide based and he staggers from side to side while swaying his trunk. You would document Mr. B. s pattern as: Selected Answer: cerebellar ataxia. Correct Answer: cerebellar ataxia. Response Feedback: Cerebellar gait (cerebellar ataxia) occurs when the patient s feet are wide based with a staggering gait, lurching from side to side, often accompanied by swaying of the trunk. Dystonic ataxia is jerky dancing movements that appear nondirectional. Steppage gait is noted when the hip and knee are elevated excessively high to lift the plantar flexed foot off the ground. The foot is brought down with a slap and the patient is unable to walk on the heels. Tabetic stamping occurs when the legs are positioned far apart, lifted high and forcibly brought down with each step; in this case the heel stamps on the ground. In Parkinsonian gait, the patient s posture is stooped and the body is held rigid; steps are short and shuffling, with hesitation on starting and difficulty stopping.
