Answer to Question 1

C

Feedback
A Disorientation is an example of a cognitive effect of sensory deprivation.
B Altered colour perception is an example of a perceptual effect of sensory deprivation.
C Boredom is an example of an affective effect of sensory deprivation, in addition to restlessness, increased anxiety, emotional liability, panic, and an increased need for physical stimulation.
D Anxiety is an example of an affective effect of sensory deprivation, but it is increased for the patient, not decreased.

Answer to Question 2

B
The client who has suffered a CVA with resulting left-sided paralysis (hemiplegia) is at risk for footdrop.
The 54-year-old client diagnosed with osteoarthritis in all lower extremity joints would not have damage to the nerve necessary to cause the condition.
The 25-year-old client with a fractured pelvis as a result of a motorcycle accident would not have damage to the nerve necessary to cause the condition.
There is little chance that the 15-year-old client who has been comatose for two years as a result of a head injury sustained from a fall off a roof will ever be capable of mobility.
