Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
Intensive care units, mechanical ventilators, lengthy verbal explanations prior to procedures, and decreased cognitive ability (e.g., head injury) are all risk factors for sensory overload. Private rooms, mobility restraints (such as traction or bed rest), isolation, and few visitors are all risk factors for sensory deprivation.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
The correctly written nursing diagnosis is Disturbed Sensory Perception: Tactile related to side effects of medication as evidence by client statement of Get the bugs off my bed, I can feel them crawling on me. Since the nursing diagnosis is not a risk for diagnosis, it must have a related to and as evidenced by statement.
