Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During Weber's test (lateralization of sound), the nurse places the vibrating tuning fork in the middle of the patient's forehead. During a Rinne test (comparison of air and bone conduction), the nurse places a vibrating tuning fork on the patient's mastoid process and compares the length of time air and bone conduction is heard. Comparing the patient's degree of joint movement to the normal level is a test for range of motion.
