Answer to Question 1

A, B, D, E
Feedback:
Strategies to protect hearing include not placing any objects into the ears, ensuring that all immunizations are current, understanding the impact of chronic exposure to loud music when using earphones, and protecting the ears when in loud environments. The nurse should teach that prompt treatment should be obtained for sore throats because these can lead to middle ear infections.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Acute otitis media causes sharp, constant pain in one or both ears. Older children can verbalize they have pain and point to where it is at. Relief of pain should be the nurse's priority when caring for this patient. A mydriatic is a medication for an eye disorder. There is no reason why the child cannot blow the nose. Pulling on the ear is an attempt to reduce the pain.
