Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Aminoglycosides accumulate in high concentrations in the inner ear, damaging sensory cells in the cochlea and vestibular apparatus. The medication should be held and alteration in hearing reported to the physician. The administration of the medication will only cause more damage to the cochlea and vestibular apparatus. Holding the medication and documenting the information in the nurses' notes will not allow for a new anti-infective to be administered and for the hearing to be assessed.
