Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

For the client with a sensorineural hearing loss, a cochlear implant may be the only hope for restoring sound perception. Cochlear implants provide sound perception but not normal hearing. The implant's function is more similar to the way the ear normally receives and processes sounds than it is to that of a hearing aid. The structures of the middle ear are reconstructed to improve conductive hearing deficits in a tympanoplasty, not in cochlear implant surgery.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

The best intervention is to face the client during conversation so that the client can employ any lip-reading skills. The nurse should use longer phrases that more completely explain concepts. Overarticulation of words makes them difficult to lip-read. The volume of voice should be consistent.
