Question 3 of 5
The nurse is assessing the client’s sensory system. Which assessment data indicate an abnormal stereognosis test?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Abnormal stereognosis is the inability to identify objects (e.g., a key) by touch with eyes closed, indicating parietal lobe dysfunction.

Question 4 of 5
The elderly client is complaining of abdominal discomfort. Which scientific rationale should the nurse remember when addressing an elderly client's perception of pain?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Age-related sensory decline reduces pain perception in the elderly, affecting reporting. Pain reaction varies, more medication is not standard, and the Wong scale is pediatric.
