Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: Current research indicates that stimulation efforts should begin immediately. The nurse should not discourage hope in this family.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: Nurses have the greatest amount of control over the level of sensory input in the hospital. Nurses can decrease sensory overload by controlling lights, noise, odors, and pain. Nurses can also increase sensory input by stimulating the client as appropriate. Administrators, planners, and physicians are not at the bedside as much as nurses.
