A member asked:

If the doctor asks "stand up and turn around twice" does that mean 2 x 360 degree turns? so basically a 720 degree turn!?

If you want to call it that!

Turn around usually means 180 degrees which would make it a 360 degree turn. The doctor making the request would be the one to ask for clarification. I'd be much more interested in why he/she was requesting this particular maneuver. Perhaps it was a shorthand neuro exam or test for vertigo.
