Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 4, 5
The nurse should instruct the lifeguards to wear a tight-fitting swim cap; use silicone earplugs, which can keep water out of the ear without reducing hearing significantly; dry the ear canal with a hair dryer on the lowest setting; and make sure the pool has been disinfected before entering. The lifeguards should be instructed to avoid inserting cotton swabs into the ear canal.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 4. 5
The behind the ear with earmold hearing aid is easier to manipulate, is most versatile and reliable, allows for finer amplification adjustments, and can be incorporated into the temple of eyeglasses. This hearing aid is considered the most visible device.
