Scenario: You have just been diagnosed with a sensory deficit. Please choose one sense or specific sensory deficit condition. Listing the deficit, risk factors, genetic conditions leading to the disease, discuss the available helps that can be offered by local services or friends to adapt to the conditon and mentioning the body part most affected, describe what you would do in this situation? What help is available for your condition? Are there local services, family, friends, or help through the workplace that can help you adapt to life without the sense? What would you do in this situation? What parts of your life do you think this condition would affect the most?
Explain how you might assess a patient for the following sensory experiences. a. Stimulation: b. Reception: c. Transmission–perception–reaction:
A nurse observes that a patient who has cataracts is sittingcloser to the television than usual. The nurse would interpret that the etiologic basis of this sensory problem is an altera-tion in: a. Environmental stimulib. Sensory receptionc. Nerve impulse conductiond. Impulse translation
A psychological test for a two-point threshold of tactile acuity will consistently show that the two-point threshold in the thigh has a 20 mm the two-point threshold in the index finger has a 2 mm the two-point threshold in the nose has a 20 mm the two-point threshold in the upper lip has a 2 mm
Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/2point) to see a quick demonstration of two-point discrimination. Touching a specialized caliper to the surface of the skin will measure the distance between two points that are perceived as distinct stimuli versus a single stimulus. The patient keeps their eyes closed while the examiner switches between using both points of the caliper or just one. The patient then must indicate whether one or two stimuli are in contact with the skin. Why is the distance between the caliper points closer on the fingertips as opposed to the palm of the hand? And what do you think the distance would be on the arm, or the shoulder?
From a biological perspective, how do our senses monitor our body's position and movement? Discuss factors which may influence our vestibular senses. Include a relevant example. Please include references.

A patient’s spinal cord was severed, and he is paralyzed from the waist down. When obtaining data about this patient, which component of the sensory experience would be most important for the nurse to assess? a. Transmission of tactile stimuli b. Adequate stimulation in the environment c. Reception of visual and auditory stimuli d. General orientation and ability to follow commands
Hello, Can you please help me with this question? How would you relate SENSORY PERCEPTION to clinical practice? How would you relate this concept (sesory perception) to other nursing concepts? Thank you in advance!
If someone has spatial neglect of the left side, which of these procedures, if any, would increase attention to a touch sensationon the left side?A. Ask the person to look to the left during the touch sensation.B. Ask the person to look to the right during the touch sensation.C. Ask the person to listen to music during the touch sensation.D. None of these procedures would have any noticeable effect.
imagine that you are a neurologist. A patient has come to you with a cognitive deficit in their ability to name objects. Describe a brain activity recording technique you would use (e.g., PET, fMRI) and the brain area you would focus on (e.g., occipital lobe, temporal lobe) to determine if they have brain damage in an area that is important for this ability. You must name and describe the specific recording technique.
How is The vestibular sense important in nursing practice?
