Answer to Question 1

4. Otitis media

Rationale:
Infants and small children who are bottle-fed in a supine position have a greater probability of developing otitis media because the eustachian tube opens when the child sucks, and the horizontal angle provides easy access to the middle ear. Children are not prone to sinus infection at that age. Choking results from holes in bottle nipples that are too big. Aspiration is caused by feeding too much too fast.

Answer to Question 2

2. Report abrupt relief of pain

Rationale:
Abrupt relief of pain may mean that the tympanic membrane has perforated. Heat should be applied to dilate surrounding blood vessels and decrease swelling. Pain is affected by movement in external otitis. Drastic changes in barometric pressure can increase pain considerably, so clients are discouraged from traveling by air.
