Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Cochlear implants are surgically implanted, and they provide a sensation of hearing for individuals who have severe or profound hearing loss of sensorineural origin. Hearing aids and amplification devices are external devices for enhancing hearing. Auditory implants do not exist.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The whistling sound is acoustic feedback. The nurse should have the child remove the hearing aid and reinsert it, making certain no hair is caught between the ear mold and the ear canal. It would be annoying to others to ignore the sound or to suggest he raise the volume of the hearing aid. The hearing aids are molded specifically for each ear.
