Rinne is the correct word, he was a german physician, not Rhine, this is a river in germany

it's just a guess.. .but i would suspect to do these exams if the person has any abnormality when screening with CN 8 when you rub your fingers together near his ear.. or if he reports hearing loss.. then it'd be a good idea simply to do the tests even if you don't know how to interpret them.. then at least you'll get the points checked off on the PE. As for your pt note.. maybe write to repeat Rinne and Weber tests... so that you can get a point there too even if you didn't say anything about it in your PN.

..(how's that for getting points when you don't know what they mean. ha ha)
