When assessing a patient for neurological changes from head trauma, the nurse would include assessments for ptosis (drooping of the eyelid), extraocular movements (to check for coordination and strength of eye muscles), accommodation (ability of the eye to adjust focus on near and distant objects), and nystagmus (involuntary eye movement). The color of the iris is not typically related to neurological changes from head trauma.
