Nursing 170 Final Exam Questions And
All Correct Answers.
Auditory - Answer hearing
tactile - Answer touch
olfactory - Answer smell
gustatory - Answer taste
proprioception - Answer pressure, pain, temperature, vibration, and positon
sensory deficit - Answer defects in the function of one or more of the sense, resulting in visual,
auditory, or olfactory impairments
sensory deprivation - Answer state in which stimulation to one or more of the senses is lacking,
resulting in impaired sensory perception
sensory overload - Answer state in which stimulation to on or more of the senses is so excessive that
the brain disregards or does not meaningfully respond to stimuli
age- related macular degeneration - Answer progressive disorder in which the macula degenerates as a
result of aging and loses its ability to function efficiently. First signs include blurring of reading matter,
distortion or loss of central vision, sensitivity to glare, and distortion of objects.
glaucoma - Answer an abnormal condition of elevated pressure within an eye caused by obstruction of
the outflow of aqueous humor. Often results in peripheral visual loss, decreased visual activity with
difficulty adapting to darkness, and a halo effect around lights, if untreated.
, cataracts - Answer an abnormal progressive condition of the lens of the eye characterized by loss of

vertigo, progressive sensorineural hearing loss, which may be bilateral and tinnitus
refractive error - Answer defect in the ability of the lens of the eye to focus light, such as occurs in
nearsightedness and farsightedness
muscle tone - Answer normal state of balanced muscle tension
center of gravity - Answer midpoint or center of the weight of a body or object
