Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3, 4
Teaching related to eye injuries focuses on prevention and first-aid measures. Eye protection devices should be worn when participating in high-risk sports or occupations. Use of seat belts and air bags prevents eye injuries in automobile crashes. In case of injury, immediately flush the eye with copious amounts of water if a chemical splash occurs. Loose, visible objects can be removed using a clean, moistened cotton-tipped swab. If an abrasion, penetrating injury, or blunt injury is suspected, the eye should be covered loosely with sterile gauze and medical attention sought immediately. Instruct patients not to remove objects that penetrate the eye.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Smooth, round objects present a challenge to remove from the ear. Suction applied using a piece of soft tubing may be effective. The instillation of lidocaine drops or mineral oil would not penetrate the ear canal. Forceps would not grasp the object and could damage the ear canal if force is applied.
