Answer to Question 1

C
Types of orders based on frequency and/or urgency of medication administration include prn orders (given only when a patient requires it) and stat orders (given immediately and only once).

Answer to Question 2

D
The pressure equalization channel is a tiny hole through the entire length of the ear mold; it should be clear for the entire length. Before removing the hearing aid, turn the volume off to prevent feedback (whistling) during removal. Hold the hearing aid over a towel, and wipe the exterior with tissue to remove the cerumen. This prevents breakage if dropped. The receiver port is easily damaged. Never insert anything into the receiver port.
