مريض بعد استئصال باطنة الشريان السباتي الأيمن. أي تقييم عصبي خاص يُعمل؟

After right carotid endarterectomy, which specific neurological assessment is done?

1. Sense of smell in each nostril only
2. Tongue, swallow and voice checks
3. Knee-jerk reflexes on both sides only
4. Hearing in the left ear only

Answer: B) Tongue, swallow and voice checks. Cranial nerves near the carotid (such as X and XII) can be injured, causing hoarseness, dysphagia and tongue deviation. Stroke signs, neck haematoma and BP are also monitored.
