Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, B, C, E
Feedback:
Disturbances in memory, reasoning, and problem solving can occur with sensory overload. Decision making may be irrational or dysfunctional. Other common behaviors indicative of cognitive dysfunction include disorientation; verbalizing disconnected thoughts; complaining of too much going on, sleeplessness, and fatigue; inability to think; and poor work performance.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
A sudden loss of sensory perception through a sensory deficit can cause total disorientation because compensation does not occur immediately.
