Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C
Preoperatively, the nurse administers antibiotics and ensures that informed consent is on the chart. Local anesthetics can be used, but general anesthesia is used more often. Antivertigo medications are not used. Hearing will be decreased immediately after the operation until the ear packing is removed.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, D
Drugs such as chlorpromazine, diphenhydramine, and meclizine can all be used to treat Mnire's disease. Antibiotics and NSAIDs are not used.
