When performing a neurological examination on Mr. RR, which of the following would not be considered an important or useful part of the examination?

  • A. Eye movements
  • B. Reflexes
  • C. Nuchal rigidity
  • D. Pupil size NEUROLOGIC MEDICATIONS
Correct Answer: D

Rationale: When performing a neurological examination on Mr. RR, pupil size due to neurologic medications would not typically be considered an important or useful part of the examination. While assessing pupil size and reactivity can provide valuable information about brain function and potential neurological issues, the focus of the initial examination would generally be on assessing eye movements, reflexes, and signs of nuchal rigidity. Pupil size related to medications would be more relevant in a medication review or history-taking rather than in the initial neurological examination.
