Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: Disturbed Sensory Perception
Rationale : This nursing diagnosis is used when the client exhibits a diminished, exaggerated, distorted, or impaired response to incoming stimuli.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 5
Rationale: The client who has difficulty hearing may have an inability to follow directions (because the directions were not heard), mood swings (because of the stress of not hearing well), and complaints of dizziness (associated with inner ear disturbances), or may answer questions incorrectly (because the question was not heard or was misinterpreted). Decrease in appetite is not generally associated with hearing loss.
