Summary Introduction
To determine:
The location of the tumor which is putting pressure on the certain fiber tracts in the individual brain that makes it difficult to control her facial muscles and to control her eye movements.
Introduction:
The cranial nerves are the nerves which controls the hearing, eye movement, facial sensations, face muscle movements and so on. These cranial nerves have their origin in cerebral part of brain.

Which of the following is false regarding nerve plexuses? A) Nerve plexuses occur in the cervical, brachial, lumbar and sacral regions. B) Nerve plexuses involve only the dorsal rami. C) Nerve plexuses are interlacing nerve networks, so that each branch of a plexus contains fibers from several spinal nerves. D) Because of nerve plexuses, each muscle in a limb receives its nerve supply from more than one spinal nerve.

- In 2011, a young woman, Becky Forest, is brought into a small city hospital after having a bike wreck and sustaining a head injury. Becky does not seem to have sustained permanent damage, but the doctor wants to see an MRI of her brain to make sure. She reported feeling faint before the wreck, so the doctor also orders various blood tests. The nurse draws blood and sends it to a lab off site. The small hospital does not have an MRI machine, so Becky is transported to another hospital for the MRI and then taken back to the small hospital. The doctor admits Becky for overnight observation. How could electronic health records have ensured that everyone involved in Becky’s care has the most up-to-date information about her health?
