Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The nurse should administer a few drops of mineral oil, which will anesthetize or kill the insect, causing it to float out when the client's head is turned to the affected side. Applying eardrops containing substances such as acetic acid and boric acid help in preventing inflammation of the external ear, but may not aid in removal of the insect. Eardrops containing glycerin are used to treat fungal infections and not for removing an insect.
