Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Polyethylene tubes are surgically inserted into the eardrum to relieve middle ear pressure and to promote drainage of chronic or recurrent middle ear infections. Tubes spontaneously extrude in 6 months to 1 year.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Absent or distorted light reflex and a bright red color of the eardrum are indicative of acute otitis media.
