NCLEX Questions on Sensory Perception Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The client with diminished sight has problems with the glare from light. Which recommendation should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Wearing sunglasses and hats with brims while outdoors blocks direct light, reducing glare. Fluorescent lighting and direct sunlight increase glare, and avoiding sunny days is unnecessary.
Question 2 of 5
An adult client is admitted for removal of a cataract from her right eye. Which of the following would the client likely have experienced as a result of the cataracts?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Cataracts cause gradual blurring of vision due to lens opacity, not acute pain, itching, or headaches.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse writes the diagnosis 'risk for injury related to impaired balance' for the client diagnosed with vertigo. Which nursing intervention should be included in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Assessing visual and proprioceptive deficits identifies factors contributing to vertigo-related falls, enhancing safety. Information, activities, and referrals are secondary.
Question 4 of 5
The 65-year-old client is diagnosed with macular degeneration. Which statement by the client indicates the client needs more discharge teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Low-watt bulbs reduce visibility, counterproductive in macular degeneration. Magnification, Amsler grid monitoring (daily preferred), and low-vision centers are appropriate.
Question 5 of 5
The elderly male client tells the nurse, 'My wife says her cooking hasn't changed, but it is bland and tasteless.' Which response by the nurse is most appropriate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Age-related taste bud decline reduces taste perception, a common issue in the elderly. Talking to the wife, blaming medications, or suggesting grilling are less appropriate.
