HEALTH ASSESSMENT
THE NASAL /
NOSE EXAMINATION
PREPARED BY:
USHA RANI KANDULA,
ASSISTANT PROFESSOR,
DEPARTMENT OF ADULT HEALTH NURSING,
ARSI UNIVERSITY, ASELLA, ETHIOPIA,
EAST AFRICA.
THE NOSE
-The nose and sinuses are part of the respiratory
system and are the organs of smell.
-Vaporized molecules sniffed into the upper nasal
cavities trigger receptors that generate impulses along
the olfactory nerve (CN I) that travel to olfactory
centers in the temporal lobes.
-The sense of smell diminishes in older adults because
of a gradual decrease in and atrophy of the olfactory
nerve fibers.
THANKING YOU
