Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C
Hot moist compresses improve circulation, relieve edema, and consolidate exudate. Compresses may delay scabbing and increase pain.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C, D
The water is heated to body temperature, the auricle is pulled gently back, the tip is placed loosely in the ear canal, and the flow is gently introduced. Irrigation is contraindicated if a foreign body is in the canal.
