Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, E, F
Manifestations of acute otitis media include otalgia, irritability, otorrhea, fever that may be high, poor feeding, rubbing or pulling at the ear, bulging tympanic membrane, enlarged lymph glands, and visualization of purulent material during an otoscopic exam.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
These vital signs are appropriate for a 6-month-old baby. The nurse should document the findings in the patient's chart. A full assessment is completed, but specific assessments are not needed based on these vital signs. The IV rate does not need adjustment, and there is no need to inform the provider.
