c. gradual high-frequency hearing loss

,d. lack of earwax in the outer ear - ANSWERC

(High-frequency hearing loss, or *presbycusis*, can occur as we age. It involves problems w]usually
with discerning certain constant sounds like F, S, T and Z. Vowels are easier to hear for a person with
high-frequency loss. Not being able to hear certain letter sounds may make speech sound mumbled.
Older adults can become disheartened or frustrated when not being able to make out speech
adequately and can become withdrawn. The issue is not related to a low-frequency hearing loss, lack
of earwax, or ear infections.)

as a 9 on a scale of 0 to 10. Which of the following physiologic signs may accompany acute pain?
(Select all that apply)

a. depression

b. tachycardia

c. increased blood pressure

d. loss of weight and appetite - ANSWERCB

(Tachycardia and increased bp are associated with the sympathetic nervous system response that
occurs in acute pain. Depression and loss of appetite are more associated with chronic pain.)

A patient is describing his symptoms to the nurse. Which of these statements reflects a description of
the aggravating factors for his symptoms?

a. "It is a sharp, burning pain in my stomach."

b. "When I sit down to use the computer, it gets worse."

c. "I think this pain is telling me that something bad is wrong with me."

d. "I also have the sweats and nausea when I feel this pain." - ANSWERB

(Aggravating factors are things the patient does or that happen to the patient that make the
symptom worse or more pronounced. This answer is the only one that was *associated with a
symptom.*)

A patient drifts off to sleep when she is not being stimulated. The nurse can arouse her easily when
calling her name, but she remains drowsy during the conversation. The best description of this
patient's level of consciousness would be:

, a. semialert

b. obtunded

c. stuporous

d. lethargic - ANSWERD

(When a patient is lethargic, they may be drowsy but awaken easily to stimulation. They can answer
questions and follow commands. A patient who is obtunded is difficult to arouse and needs constant
stimulation in order to keep them awake. They may answer basic, direct questions. Wen a patient is
stuporous, they require vigorous stimulation to arouse and will not be able to answer questions to
follow commands. Semialert is not a term used in a mental health assessment.)

c. flat, well-defined, small lesions less than 1 cm in diameter

d. elevated fluid-filled lesions less than 1 cm in diameter - ANSWERC

ask them how much pain they are having often using some type of rating scale.)
