Answer to Question 1

D
Older adults experience tactile changes including declining sensitivity to pain, pressure, and temperature.
Older adults have an increased sensitivity to glare.
Older adults have a decreased number of taste buds.
Older adults have difficulty discriminating the consonants (z, t, f, g) and high-frequency sounds (s, sh, ph, k).

Answer to Question 2

A
Alterations in spatial orientation and in visual/motor coordination are signs of perceptual dysfunction. Cognitive function is the ability to think and the capacity to learn; the patient is not disoriented or unable to learn. Affective problems include boredom and restlessness; the patient is participating in an activity. The patient is socializing with the home health nurse, so isolation is not a problem.
