Answer to Question 1

C
The standard treatment includes initiating vitamin B12 replacement therapy. Without vitamin B12 administration, these individuals will die in 1 to 3 years. Treatment is 1,000 units of vitamin B12 administered intramuscularly daily for weeks, then weekly for 1 month, and finally monthly for life.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Cerumen removal can be aided by gentle irrigation of the external auditory canal with warm water or a hydrogen peroxide and water solution. Avoid the use of cotton-tipped applicators for cerumen removal, because they can push the cerumen back into the ear canal and cause an impaction. Hairpins or similar devices should never be used. A forceful stream of solution should not be used during this procedure because it can cause perforation of the eardrum.
