Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
In addition to its place in the complete examination, eardrum assessment is mandatory for any infant or child requiring care for an illness or fever. For the infant or young child, the timing of the otoscopic examination is best toward the end of the complete examination.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
With the head 30 to 60 cm (1 to 2 feet) from the patient's ear, the examiner exhales and slowly whispers a set of random numbers and letters, such as 5, B, 6. Normally, the patient is asked to repeat each number and letter correctly after hearing the examiner say them.
