Abstract

[Extract] Making sense of one's situation, learning new information and recalling memories are activities that make each person a unique individual. Performance of these activities relies on intact cognition, sensation and perceptual abilities.

This chapter discusses the physiology of sensation, perception and cognition, and the common alterations in each functional area. The registered nurse's role in caring for people with sensory, perceptual or cognitive alterations is discussed in detail.
