Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The nurse should identify that accumulation of cerumen (ear wax) can impair hearing and promote infection in the ear canal. The moisture content of cerumen varies somewhat among the races, and this may affect hearing acuity or the tendency toward ear infections. Inserting a pointed object in the ear can damage the tympanic membrane, causing hearing loss, but it does not result in an ear infection. Infection of the sebaceous gland does not cause an ear infection. Eccrine glands are sweat glands distributed widely over the body, but are especially numerous on the upper lip, forehead, back, palms, and soles. They are not found in the ear. Secretion from the eccrine glands does not cause an ear infection.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The rationale for performing a nursing assessment is to identify whether the person is well, has risk factors for problems, or has actual problems. If the client has actual problems, assessment further helps to identify whether the client has the necessary strength to cope with the problems by asking individualized assessment questions.
