RNSG 1430 exam 2 - functional ability and sensory
perception questions with verified answers
(S/P) describe health promotion teaching to minimize risk of S/P deficits.
Ans✓✓✓
(S/P) safety considerations for pts with sensory perception deficits? Ans✓✓✓ -
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) where does the interpretation of sensory experience occur? Ans✓✓✓
cranial nerves - reticular activating system (RAS) - hypothalamus to medulla =
arousal.
2 types of age related macular degeneration Ans✓✓✓ 1. exudative (wet): sudden
visual loss due to leakage of fluid/blood due to abnormal vessel formation under
retina
2. nonexudative (dry): most common, gradual blockage in retinal capillary arteries
- macula becomes ischmemic and necrotid due to lack of retinal cells
3 examples of alterations of S/P Ans✓✓✓ -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
Acute closed-angle glaucoma Ans✓✓✓ EMERGENCY: iris bulges forward against
cornea and iris. Fluid can't circulate.
s/s: SUDDEN blurred vision, halos, colored rings, Severe headaches, SUDDEN
severe eye pain, reddening eyes, profuse lacrimation, dilated nonreactive pupil,
BLINDNESS IN 2-5 DAYS IF UNTREATED
Cataracts - clinical manifestations Ans✓✓✓ Clouded, blurred or dim vision
Increasing difficulty with vision at night
Sensitivity to light and glare
Need for brighter light for reading and other activities
Seeing "halos" around lights
Frequent changes in eyeglass or contact lens prescription
Fading or yellowing of colors
Double vision in a single eye
cataracts - didnt wire down the nursing interventions Ans✓✓✓ didnt wire down
the nursing interventions
Cataracts Ans✓✓✓ clouding of the lens, opacity in the lens of an eye
clinical manifestations of age-related MD (AMD) Ans✓✓✓ -dry: pt have no
symptoms,
