Question

The nurse is performing a point localization test on a client during a neurological assessment. How should the nurse perform this test? The client will close the eyes. The nurse will then gently touch the client, and the client will identify where the touch occurred. The client is asked to identify the number of points felt when the nurse touches the client with the ends of two applicators at the same time. The client will close the eyes and identify what number the nurse writes in the palm of the client's hand with a blunt-ended object. The nurse will simultaneously touch the client in the same area on both sides of the body, and the client will identify where the touch occurred.
