Answer to Question 1

Tests that can be conducted by the nurse to assess for hearing include the voice-whisper test, the Weber test, and the Rinne test. The Allen's test is used to assess blood flow to the hand. The cochlear test and stapes test do not exist.

Seasonal influenza has a sudden onset with a headache, nausea, cough, chills, fever, rhinitis, myalgia, and extreme fatigue. These symptoms are not seen in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, or cystic fibrosis.
