Answer to Question 1

Answer: B, D, E

For the client with an uncorrectable hearing loss, the approaches of cued speech, total communication, and sign language can be used. A magic slate and hearing aids are appropriate for the client with impaired verbal communication.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

Tobramycin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic, is used in the treatment of advanced bacterial infections and for the treatment of tuberculosis. A potential serious adverse effect of this class of medication is ototoxicity, affecting the client's hearing. The other choices do not apply.
