The nurse is conducting a psychosocial assessment. Which of the following would be included in this assessment? (Select all that apply)

The nurse is assessing the 6 stages of the cardinal gaze to evaluate the function of the cranial nerves III, IV, and VI for ocular motor movements, which control eye movement and positioning.

Cranial nerve III controls the superior rectus, inferior rectus, and medial rectus muscles, which move the eye up, down, and inward, respectively. Cranial nerve IV controls the superior oblique muscle, which moves the eye downward and laterally. Cranial nerve VI controls the lateral rectus muscle, which moves the eye outward.

Therefore, the nurse will observe the patient's ability to move their eyes smoothly in each of the six cardinal positions of gaze and note any abnormalities that may indicate dysfunction of these cranial nerves. This test is used to diagnose conditions such as strabismus, nystagmus, and palsy of the ocular motor nerves.

Cranial nerve II, on the other hand, is responsible for visual acuity, not eye movement, and is tested separately using a visual acuity chart or other vision tests.

Normal skin temperature for healthy adults ranges between 92.3 and 98.4 Fahrenheit or 33-37 Celsius, far lower than the 98.6 F average core temp. Changes in skin temperature may indicate potential illness or injuries.

To check for skin turgor, the healthcare provider grasps the skin between two fingers so that it is tented up. Commonly the lower arm or abdomen is checked. The skin is held for a few seconds and then released. Skin with normal turgor snaps rapidly back to its normal position.
