When bringing in the meal tray for a patient with damage to the glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX), which action by the nurse is most appropriate?
1. Tell the patient what food is on the tray.
2. Assess the patient’s ability to swallow.
3. Speak loudly and make eye contact with the patient.
4. Assist the patient in identifying where items are on the tray.

2 -- [Gag reflex]] and swallowing are controlled by CN IX, and auditory function is controlled by the acoustic nerve (CN VIII). The optic nerve (CNII) controls vision. Additionally, assessment is the first nursing process.
