Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: It is recommended by the manufacturers to clean the aid with a dry, soft cloth to prevent any damage to the aid.
Rationale 2: The aid should be turned off and the battery removed to preserve the life of the battery.
Rationale 3: The aid should be stored in a safe place where it will not get damaged. It should not be stored in the bathroom cabinet.
Rationale 4: Alcohol is not recommended to be used on an aid because it could damage the aid.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: The small size of hearing aids may make it difficult for older adults to manipulate, so they may need assistance in the aid's removal.
Rationale 2: Clients are instructed not to remove their aids in common rooms like a sunroom.
Rationale 3: The removal of the aid is necessary before bathing so it is not damaged.
Rationale 4: The aid should always be stored in the client's bedside table-not sent home with the family-so it is available for later use.
