Disturbed sensory perception is a common, yet complex, nursing diagnosis, representing a change in the amount or patterning of incoming stimuli accompanied by an impaired response. This diagnosis is a crucial component of a patient’s plan of care, as it helps nurses assess and manage alterations in how a person receives and interprets sensory information. It is the nurse's role to identify and address these issues to ensure patient safety and promote overall well-being.
