Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Physical and mental disabilities must be considered when administering and scoring standardized tests. In this example, the veteran's hearing loss may make him less likely than other patients to hear and understand test questions. Additionally, his facial paralysis may make it difficult for him to communicate answers in a way that Dr. Anderson can understand.
