A nurse is assessing a client who has Bell's palsy. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect? (Select all that apply)

The correct findings for a client with Bell's palsy include impaired taste (A) due to involvement of the chorda tympani nerve, pain behind the ear (B) from inflammation of the facial nerve, and muscle distortion (C) due to facial muscle weakness. Impaired taste occurs due to the involvement of the chorda tympani nerve, which provides taste sensation to the anterior two-thirds of the tongue. Pain behind the ear arises from inflammation of the facial nerve. Muscle distortion results from weakness in the facial muscles. Facial twitching (D) and hearing loss (E) are not typical findings in Bell's palsy.
