At what age does hearing start to change?
CORRECT ANSWER:
Age 30
Which of the following are normal hearing changes as an individual
ages?
CORRECT ANSWER:
Delayed reception and reaction to speech
what affects conductive hearing loss
CORRECT ANSWER:
Cerumen build up in the ear
Which of the following reflects sensorineural hearing loss?
CORRECT ANSWER:
Loud noise exposure
Which of the following represents the ability to receive and interpret
sensory impressions through sight (visual), hearing (auditory), touch
(tactile), smell (olfactory), taste (gustatory), and movement or
position (kinesthetic)?
,CORRECT ANSWER:
sensory perception
presbyopia
CORRECT ANSWER:
farsightedness caused by loss of elasticity of the lens of the eye,
occurring typically in middle and old age.
A gradual decline in the ability of the lens to accommodate or focus
on close objects. Individual is unable to see near objects clearly.
Cataract
CORRECT ANSWER:
Cloudy or opaque areas in part of the lens or the entire lens that
interfere with passage of light through the lens, causing problems
with glare and blurred vision. Cataracts usually develop gradually,
without pain, redness, or tearing in the eye.
Glaucoma
CORRECT ANSWER:
A slowly progressive increase in intraocular pressure that, if left
untreated, causes progressive pressure against the optic nerve,
resulting in peripheral visual loss, decreased visual acuity with
difficulty adapting to darkness, and a halo effect around lights.
diabetic retinopathy
CORRECT ANSWER:
Pathological changes occur in the blood vessels of the retina,
resulting in decreased vision or vision loss caused by hemorrhage
and macular edema.
macular degeneration
CORRECT ANSWER:
,Condition in which the macula (specialized part of the retina
responsible for central vision) loses its ability to function efficiently.
First signs include blurring of reading matter, distortion or loss of
central vision, and distortion of vertical lines.
Presbycusis hearing loss
CORRECT ANSWER:
hearing loss that gradually occurs in most individuals as they grow
older
Xerostomia
CORRECT ANSWER:
Decrease in salivary production that leads to thicker mucus and a
dry mouth. Often interferes with the ability to eat and leads to
appetite and nutritional problems.
*Dry mouth
sensory overload
CORRECT ANSWER:
When a person receives multiple sensory stimuli and cannot
perceptually disregard or selectively ignore some stimuli, sensory
overload occurs.
Aphasia
CORRECT ANSWER:
impairment of language, usually caused by left hemisphere damage
either to Broca's area (impairing speaking) or to Wernicke's area
(impairing understanding).
conductive hearing loss
CORRECT ANSWER:
, hearing impairment caused by interference with sound or vibratory
energy in the external canal, middle ear, or ossicles
hyperesthesia
CORRECT ANSWER:
increased sensitivity to stimulation such as touch or pain
Patients with aphasia
CORRECT ANSWER:
• Listen to the patient and provide sufficient time to communicate.
• Do not shout or speak loudly (hearing loss is not the problem).
• If patient has problems with comprehension, use simple, short
questions and facial gestures to give additional clues.
• Speak of things familiar and of interest to patient.
• If patient has problems speaking, ask questions that require simple
yes-or-no answers or blinking of the eyes. Offer pictures or a
communication board so patient can point.
• Speak slowly and give patient time to understand; be calm and
patient; do not pressure or tire the patient.
• Avoid patronizing and childish phrases
Normal sensation
CORRECT ANSWER:
Reception
Perception
Reaction
Sensory alterations
CORRECT ANSWER:
Sensory deficits, sensory deprivation, and sensory overload
factors that influence sensory function?
