Question

A client says that an object placed in the hand is a pair of scissors when the object is a paper clip. which aspect of the client's neurologic system should the nurse identify as being compromised?

Answer 1

In the question stated above, it is very likely that the patient is facing receptive or sensory issues. This is clear when he mistakes one stimulus for another. This might be because he sees one thing but can not distinguish it for another, or he's having problems differentiating one tactile stimulus for another. Either way, the system compromised is the patient's sensory system.
