No, I'm not kidding---this was a neuro assessment practiced by physician's and some nurses (advanced practice?) in the 1960's or '70s-'80's. Does anyone remember a history about it? Appreciate your answer! Zachhorse
Can anyone give a little history regarding nursing's involvement with nipple twisting or pinching in order to elicit a neurologic response? Approx. how long was it a part of our nursing assessment? Appreciate any information on the subject. Zachhorse
