Answer to Question 1

A, B, C
Sensory deprivation occurs when inadequate quality or quantity of stimuli impairs perception. These effects sometimes produce cognitive changes, such as the inability to solve problems, poor task performance, and disorientation. Affective changes, which include boredom, restlessness, increased anxiety, or emotional ability, can occur. Symptoms of sensory overload include panic, confusion, and aggressiveness.

Answer to Question 2

D
Right jugular vein distended is the only entry without spelling errors. Correct spelling demonstrates competency and attention to detail. Misspelled words lead to confusion. For example, often words sound the same but have different meanings such as accept and except or dysphagia and dysphasia. Misspellings and incorrect use of terms alters the intended meaning. Not only is abdomen misspelled, but an abdomen cannot be fractured.
