Physical assessment is the baseline of everything we do in nursing and is the first step in the nursing process. This video includes a demonstration of a focused neurologic assessment and addresses the cranial nerve as well as the peripheral neurologic exam. It further includes a demonstration of tests to assess all 12 cranial nerves, cerebellar function, the spinothalamic tract and posterior column.
