Answer to Question 1

A
Children up to 3 years of age should have the auricle pulled down and back, children 4 years of age to adults should have the auricle pulled upward and outward. Irrigation solution should be instilled 1 cm (1/2) above the opening of the ear canal. Irrigation solution should be allowed to drain freely during instillation.

A Depression, suicide, unemployment, and unintentional injuries are concerns that affect youth, young men, and those in Aboriginal communities.
