Smooth, coordinated movement of the eyes-the six cardinal fields test eye movements and the muscle of the eye. normal findings include smooth, coordinated movement of the eyes with occasional mild nystagmus (jerking) in extreme lateral gaze. nystagmus in all six fields is an abnormal finding that requires further evaluation. a symmetrical corneal light reflex is the expected response of the corneal light reflex test. the red reflex is assessed when using the ophthalmoscope. nursing process step: assessment cognitive level: application client need: physiological integrity
