Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 5
Clients must complete the medication as ordered to kill the infection. Mild analgesics for pain are often needed. If excruciating ear pain develops, the client should seek medical care to rule out perforation of the eardrum. It is important to keep the ear dry, so the client should not swim at this time. Flying is not recommended at this time. Limiting fluids is not necessary with otitis media.

Answer to Question 2

4
The nurse should instruct the client to turn off the appliance when not in use; store in a cool, dry place; change the batteries at least once per week; and clean ear molds at least once per week.
