Which of the following is not measured during a complete sensory evaluation?

A. Proprioceptive thresholds
B. Conscious touch sensitivity
C. Thresholds for stimulation
D. All of the above


ANS: A
Rationale: A complete sensory evaluation includes measuring sensitivity and thresholds for stimulation of each conscious sensation, except proprioceptive thresholds, which are not measured. For example, a measure of conscious touch sensitivity is the ability to distinguish between two closely applied points on the skin; threshold is the lowest intensity of a stimulus that can be perceived, similar to when the person barely perceives being touched.
