Answer to Question 1

Ans: A

Answer to Question 2

1

Rationale: To administer ear drops to a child younger than 3 years, the earlobe should be pulled down and back. In the older child, the earlobe is pulled up and back to obtain a straight canal. Gloves do not need to be worn by the parents, but hands must be washed before and after the procedure. The child needs to be in a side-lying position with the affected ear facing upward to facilitate the flow of medication down the ear canal by gravity.
