Answer to Question 1

A, D, E
Feedback:
Causes of conductive hearing loss include otitis media, perforated eardrum, and obstruction of external auditory canal (e.g., foreign body or cerumen). Excessive noise, tumors, and viral infections may cause sensorineural losses.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The nurse should use a solvent to loosen the appliance during its removal in order to prevent tearing off of the appliance. The conduit appliance should be changed every 5 to 7 days. The nurse should use a synthetic barrier cream that contains little or no karaya because urine destroys karaya. The skin area should be gently and thoroughly dried before applying the new appliance to prevent contamination.
