ATI Fundamentals Chapter 45 Review: Understanding Sensory Deficits, Overload, and Nursing Care

In this episode, we explore the complexities of sensory perception and its impact on daily life. From sensory deficits to overload, we discuss how nurses can recognize and address sensory impairments such as vision and hearing loss, aphasia, and neurologic deficits. We also provide actionable nursing interventions to promote communication and ensure patient safety. Join us as we break down best practices for improving patient-centered care when dealing with sensory alterations, using real-world examples to help you understand and apply these concepts in practice.
