During an assessment of the neurological system, a nurse places a key in the hand of a client, and he identifies it as a key. The nurse would describe this finding as

A. Closed-ended questions are useful for obtaining specific information, such as whether the client took their medication. Yes/no responses provide clarity and a quick assessment of adherence.
B. When determining if the client is eating a well-balanced diet. Open-ended questions would be more appropriate here to gather detailed information about the client’s dietary habits.
C. When asking the client about his receptiveness to the transfer. Open-ended questions would be better for understanding the client's feelings about the transfer, as they allow the client to express their thoughts fully.
D. When asking the client how he completes his ADLs. Open-ended questions allow clients to describe their ability to perform activities of daily living, which provides a more comprehensive view of their functional abilities.

A. The whispered voice test is used to assess the function of Cranial Nerve VIII, which is responsible for hearing and balance. The nurse's whisper tests the auditory function of this nerve.
B. The vagus nerve is involved in swallowing, voice production, and parasympathetic functions but is not assessed by whispering.
C. This nerve controls lateral eye movement, and a whispered voice test does not assess eye movement.
D. This nerve also controls eye movement, specifically the superior oblique muscle, and is not evaluated by the whispered voice test.
