Prior to performing the examination, patients are first asked if they have a history of seizures, loss of consciousness, loss or decreased sensation (especially to pain), twitches , tremors and changes in personality or mental status. A complete neurologic exam covers assessment of the cranial nerve function, motor system, reflexes, sensation, and mental status. This process may take a little more time as compared to the usual head to toe assessment and nurses might go for a quick approach to doing it, however, they should always be thorough in performing any assessment and keep in mind that more is missed by not looking than by not knowing.
