Answer to Question 1

D
Use of cotton-tipped swabs should be avoided because they can cause earwax to become im-pacted within the canal.
Warm water, not cool, should be used to irrigate ears.
Asking the client to turn his or her head toward the nurse is not the best response.
Hearing-aid batteries last one week with daily wearing of 10 to 12 hours.

Answer to Question 2

A
Diabetes is considered to be an epidemic in progress for Canadian Aboriginal peoples. The prev-alence of diabetes is three to five times the national average. HIV/AIDS cases among Aboriginal peoples have increased steadily over the past decade, whereas the annual number of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) cases has levelled off in the rest of the population. The su-icide rates in Inuit and First Nations communities are five to six times greater than the rates found in non-Aboriginal communities.
Depression, smoking, unprotected sexual practices are issues that may be present in Aboriginal communities but are not identified as the most prevalent health issues.
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs), environmental pollution, malnutrition are issues that may be present in Aboriginal communities but are not identified as the most prevalent health issues.
Sedentary lifestyle, teenage pregnancies, high caloric diets are issues that may be present in Ab-original communities but are not identified as the most prevalent health issues.
