Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Some medications are known to be ototoxic. Diminished kidney function slows the excretion of drugs from the body, worsening the ototoxic effects. The nurse should assess the antibiotics the client is receiving for ototoxicity. The other options are not warranted.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
During ear irrigation, if the client becomes nauseated, stop the procedure. The other options are not helpful.
