The nurse is assessing the client’s sensory system. Which assessment data indicate an abnormal stereognosis test?

  • A. The client is unable to identify which way the toe is being moved.
  • B. The client cannot discriminate between sharp and dull objects.
  • C. The toes contract and draw together when the sole of the foot is stroked.
  • D. The client is unable to identify a key in the hand with both eyes closed.
Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Abnormal stereognosis is the inability to identify objects (e.g., a key) by touch with eyes closed, indicating parietal lobe dysfunction. Toe movement, sharp/dull, and Babinski reflex test other functions.
