Focused Neurologic Physical Assessment Head-to-Toe

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.

Is heart and lung auscultation, always included as a part of neurological exam?

Great question! In order to get the whole picture of the patient, it is always best to perform a head to toe exam, which includes listening to heart, lungs, abdomen and checking peripheral circulation etc.
If you are in nursing school, please check with your professors on how they will "check you off". In practice, it's always best to assess the whole patient to get a picture of their overall status.

How old is the patient?
