🗑
3. The cranial nerves are tested in the following ways   VI Abducens- tested w/ oculomotor; testing eye movements VII Facial- ability of face to move in symmetry, ID of tastes VIII Acoustic (Vestibulocochlear)- testing of hearing through whisper or other means and checking equilibrium and balance 3.  
🗑
