Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Excess earwax is not an immediate problem.
Rationale 2: Loud talking could be an indication the client is hard of hearing, which is not an immediate threat.
Rationale 3: The presence of a hearing aid should already be noted on the client's admission assessment.
Rationale 4: The health care provider should report any drainage from the ears to the nurse.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Gently pinching the lens and lifting it out is one of the correct steps for removing a client's soft contact lens.
Rationale 2: The nurse should have the client look straight ahead, not up.
Rationale 3: The upper eyelid is pulled down gently.
Rationale 4: The nurse would use the pad of the index finger, not the ring finger.
