While a cerebral vascular accident is caused by a lack of
perfusion to an area of the brain,
- Correct Answer - the loss of sensory perception is caused by
neural cell death preventing neurotransmitters from sending or
receiving information.
While poor glucose metabolism is the cause of type II diabetes,
- Correct Answer - the peripheral neuropathy that causes loss
of sensory perception in the feet is caused by the damage
excess glucose does to nerve cells.
While the surgical incision may have been caused by altered
tissue integrity,
- Correct Answer - loss of sensory perception through
numbness of the surrounding skin was caused by destruction of
the superficial nerves from the cut.
,Symptoms of sensory perception disorders are divided into two
areas. Go through the presentation below to learn more.
- Correct Answer - Peripheral nervous system sensory
perception symptoms
Peripheral nervous system sensory perception symptoms
include:
- Correct Answer - Burning
Tingling
Numbness
Cold
Central nervous system sensory perception symptoms include:
- Correct Answer - Hard of hearing: Cues include confusion,
frequently asking to repeat, and high-volume settings on audio
equipment.

Which environmental factors below can impact sensory
perception? Select all that apply.
- Correct Answer - Chronic steroid use
Excessive noise or a long period of time
Uncontrolled blood sugars
Treatment for Sensory Perception Problems
- Correct Answer - Many of the treatments for altered sensory
perception involve devices and medication that cause the
opposite effect of the sensory perception problem.
For example, in photophobia, overstimulation is the cause, so
reduced light environments or wearing sunglasses would be the
action used to reduce the overstimulation.
Treatment for Sensory Perception Problems
- Correct Answer - In sensorineural hearing loss, assistive
devices like hearing aids or closed captioning may be used.
, Neuropathy causing pain to a peripheral extremity will benefit
from compression with a sock to activate pressure receptors to
block the transmission of pain.
Treatment for Sensory Perception Problems
- Correct Answer - There are also medications used to fix
imbalances. Serotonin re-uptake inhibitors help increase the
amount of serotonin in the brain, thus reducing symptoms of
depression in those with a deficiency of serotonin.
Which of the following can prevent or reduce the complications
of sensory perception disorders? Select all that apply.
- Correct Answer - Routine hearing testing with early treatment
of deficits
Good control of blood sugar levels in diabetes
Regular eye exams with early treatment
increase in serotonin can result in
- Correct Answer - a condition called serotonin syndrome
decrease in serotonin can result in
