Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that during a neurological examination, healthcare providers assess the pupils to gather information about the nervous system's function.
Recognize that the key characteristics of pupils that are assessed include size, shape, and reactivity to light.
Size: Healthcare providers check if the pupils are equal in size and if they are within the normal range, which can indicate normal neurological function.
Shape: The shape of the pupils is observed to ensure they are round, as irregular shapes can suggest underlying neurological issues.
Reactivity to light: Providers test how the pupils respond to light by shining a light into each eye and observing the constriction and dilation, which helps assess the function of the cranial nerves and brainstem.
