The ability to receive and interpret stimuli is a priority for
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
what human need? |\ |\ |\
Mobility
Socialization
Nutrition
Safety - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Safety is the highest
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
priority of the needs listed. Socialization is affected by
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
deficits. Nutrition concerns can be experienced but not at
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
the same level as basic safety concerns. Mobility may
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
lead to safety concerns when one is having decreased
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
sensory input. |\
A patient voices an understanding of instructions about
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
furosemide (Lasix) when he makes which statement? |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\

changes."

The nurse is surveying the assisted living facility
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
regarding safety features for patients with sensory |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
deficits. Which are the most appropriate |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
accommodations?
Steps painted with dark colors|\ |\ |\ |\
Fire and smoke alarms with sound and flashing lights
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Colorful throw rugs to designate the purpose of various
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
rooms
Alarms on all exit doors - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Sound
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
and flashing lights for alarms are helpful for both visual
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
and auditory deficits. Throw rugs, though colorful, present
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
a mobility hazard. Exit door alarms are not required for
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
sensory deficits but are more essential for patients with
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
cognitive impairments. Steps painted with dark colors are
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
a hazard to the elderly because their depth perception
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
may be impaired. |\ |\
