  1. Stereognosis
  2. Auditory
  3. Gustatory
  4. Olfactory

Question 2

The nurse is caring for a newly admitted client who is aphasic. The nurse most therapeutically addresses the communication issue by:
 
  1. Evaluating the client's ability to express his or her needs by writing
  2. Asking the client how he or she wants to communicate with the staff
  3. Giving the client a pad and a pencil with which to communicate
  4. Providing the client with an orientation to the use of the call bell

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
Stereognosis is a sense that allows a person to recognize an object's size, shape, and texture. The auditory sense is the sense of hearing. The gustatory sense is the sense of tasting. The olfactory sense is the sense of smelling

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
Determine whether the client has developed a sign language system or symbols to communicate needs. Every client should be oriented to the proper use of the call bell, and the remaining op-tions assume that writing will be the client's preferred method of communication.
