Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Sensory overload is the condition that results when a person experiences so much sensory stimuli that the brain is unable to either respond meaningfully or ignore the stimuli. In some clients, especially those coming from a quiet environment with unvarying stimuli, the experience of being hospitalized results in sensory overload.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Cognitive responses to sensory deprivation include an inability to control thoughts, decreased attention span, and difficulty with memory, problem solving, and task performance.
