Answer to Question 1

corneal injury
It is extremely important to determine whether patients wear contact lenses, particularly when patients are admitted to hospitals or agencies in an unresponsive or confused state. If a seriously ill patient is wearing contact lenses, and this fact goes undetected, severe corneal injury can result.

Answer to Question 2

B
Hearing aids and batteries should be stored in a dry container with desiccant or in an electronic dryer to prolong life, minimize repairs, and preserve batteries. Advise the patient to avoid exposing the hearing aid to extremes of temperature. Batteries are toxic if swallowed; keep them away from pets and children. Advise the patient to protect the hearing aid from water, alcohol, hair spray or cologne, perspiration, rain, and snow.
