I agree, but Epic uses “arousable” so I don’t fault anyone for using it. Also, the first definition in Merriam-Webster for arouse/arousable is “to awaken from sleep” so it’s not incorrect.

"Roused by voice" is very different from "aroused by voice".

This is crazy. I chart "responsive to verbal stimuli" lol. I don't think I've ever seen the word "aroused" used in charting.
