1 -- Cranial nerve XII (hypoglossal) is tested by having the patient stick his or her tongue out. An abnormal finding is that the tongue deviates to either side. Cranial nerve I is the olfactory nerve, and is assessed by having the patient use his or her sense of smell; cranial nerve III is the oculomotor nerve and, along with the trochlear and abducens nerves, helps the eye move. Homans’ sign is a check for thrombophlebitis in the calves of the legs.
