What are the 2 primary components of sensory perception? Sensation and perception or
reception and perception.
, RNSG 1430 exam 2 - functional ability and
sensory perception Questions And Answers
(S/P) where does the interpretation of sensory experience occur? cranial nerves - reticular
activating system (RAS) - hypothalamus to medulla = arousal.
(S/P) safety considerations for pts with sensory perception deficits? -assess how the
patient is coping then develop a care plan - are they able to compensate for the deficit?
-Illness and hospitalization may threaten a patient's usual adaptive patterns and require new self-
care abilities. Patients with evolving deficits will require assistance with coping and learning to
compensate skillfully.
(S/P) describe health promotion teaching to minimize risk of S/P deficits.
3 examples of alterations of S/P -sensory deficit: change in reception/perception
-sensory deprivation: reduced sensory input (Int/ext) (due to illness, trauma, or isolation)
-sensory overload: excessive sustained, and unmanageable multisensory stimulation
eye injuries/conditions that are emergent and can lead to vision loss: -corneal abrasion
-penetrating/perforating trauma
