Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Impaired or absent functioning in one or more senses is termed sensory deficit.

Research has found that the neonatal ICU is a source of inappropriate sensory stimulation. To facilitate developmentally supportive care, it is recommended that medically fragile infants have limited light, visual, and vestibular stimulation to simulate being in the womb.
