Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Older adults with heart failure are at increased risk for hearing loss caused by medications (e.g., diuretics) and decreased renal and cardiac perfusion. Normal levels of albumin, potassium, and sodium are not associated with hearing loss.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
The hearing aid should be inserted with the volume off with the canal portion pointing into the ear. A hearing aid should be used for one-on-one conversation and should not be used in a dining room where there is background noise. If whistling is heard, the volume should be decreased.
