Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
The frenulum connects the anterior portion of the tongue to the floor of the mouth. The hard palate is the anterior portion of the roof of the mouth. The papillae contain the taste buds and assist with moving food within the mouth. The papillae are located on the dorsal surface of the tongue. The alveoli sockets contain the teeth within the mandible and maxilla.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3, 5

This client is at risk for perforating the tympanic membrane with the cotton-tipped applicator. The inside of the ear should not be cleaned. Cerumen moves to the outside of the ear canal naturally. This client is at risk for impacting the cerumen within the ears with the cotton-tipped applicator. The inside of the ear should not be cleaned. Cerumen moves to the outside of the ear canal naturally. Otitis externa is an infection of the client's outer ear. This client does not have an increased risk of developing otitis externa. Tophi are small white nodules that are found on the helix or antihelix. These nodules are a sign of gout and contain uric acid crystals. Tympanostomy tubes are placed when clients develop repeated otitis media infections. These tubes help relieve middle ear pressure and allow drainage that occurs as a result of the infection. This client does not require tympanostomy tubes.
