Question 1 of 5
The intensive care unit (ICU) nurse cares for a blind client, who is on contact precautions, maybe experiencing:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: sensory deprivation. Sensory deprivation refers to the inadequate amount or quality of sensory input. In this case, the blind client on contact precautions may experience a lack of visual, tactile, and auditory stimuli due to limited interaction and isolation. This can lead to feelings of loneliness, anxiety, and confusion. Choice A: Sensory deficit implies a reduced ability to perceive sensory information, which may not be directly related to the client's condition. Choice B: Sensory overload is an excessive amount of sensory stimuli, which is not likely in a controlled ICU environment for a blind client. Choice D: Sensory overstimulation suggests an overwhelming amount of sensory input, which is also unlikely for a blind client in an ICU setting.
