Final answer:

The coordination exam is where the Finger-Nose-Finger test and Heel-to-Shin test are documented.

Step-by-step explanation:

The section of the neurological exam where you would document the "Normal Finger-Nose-Finger test" and "Normal Heel-to-Shin" is the coordination exam. The coordination exam assesses cerebellar function in coordinated movements, including those associated with gait. The Finger-Nose-Finger test and Heel-to-Shin test are specific tests within the coordination exam that evaluate the patient's ability to perform precise movements.
