Health Care Concepts 1

Concept – SENSORY PERCEPTION

Concept Definition

Sensory is the ability to receive sensory input and, through various physiologic processes in the body, translate the stimulus or data into meaningful information.

Exemplars

Cataracts

Conductive Hearing Loss

Macular Degenerative Disease

Peripheral Neuropathy (Peripheral Artery Disease)

Sensorineural Hearing Loss (Pediatrics)

Glaucoma

Eye injuries

Objectives

1.  Explain the concept of Sensory Perception (including definition, antecedents, and attributes).

2.  Analyze conditions which place a patient at risk for Sensory Perception imbalance.

3.  Identify when sensory imbalance (negative consequence) is developing or has developed.

4.  Discuss exemplars of common sensory perception disorders.

5.  Apply the nursing process (including collaborative interventions) for individuals experiencing Sensory Perception imbalance and to promote normal Sensory Perception.
