Asking about years of schooling completed can help determine if the resident's score on the MoCA may be affected by limited education rather than cognitive impairment. This information can also be used to plan appropriate interventions for the resident. Cranial nerve assessment, determining if the resident is literate, and assessing hand strength are not directly related to documenting the MoCA score.
