Nurse Veronica is teaching a group of parents about otitis media. When discussing why children are predisposed to this disorder, the nurse should mention the significance of which anatomical feature?
- A. Nasopharynx
- B. Eustachian tubes
- C. External ear canal
- D. Tympanic membrane 51
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The Eustachian tubes are small passages that connect the middle ear to the back of the throat. In young children, these tubes are shorter, more horizontal, and more narrow than in adults, making them more prone to blockages and infections. When these tubes become blocked, usually due to factors like swelling from allergies or a cold, fluid can build up in the middle ear leading to otitis media or middle ear infection. Therefore, the anatomy and size of the Eustachian tubes play a significant role in the predisposition of children to otitis media.
Which of the ff is an assessment finding in a client with bonchiectasis?
- A. Same amount of sputum at all stages of the disease
- B. Non productive cough
- C. Expectoration of small amounts of sputum
- D. Worsening cough with position changes
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Bronchiectasis is a condition characterized by the abnormal widening and thickening of the bronchial tubes, leading to a build-up of mucus. One of the common assessment findings in clients with bronchiectasis is the expectoration of small amounts of sputum. This is due to the increased mucus production and impaired clearance from the airways. The sputum may be foul-smelling and may contain pus or blood due to chronic infection and inflammation in the bronchial tubes.

An adult had a total thyroidectomy. Which statement by the client demonstrates to the nurse an adequate understanding of long term care?
- A. "I will need to take replacement hormones for the rest of my life."
- B. " I should try to avoud stress and be alert for signs of recurrent hyperthyroidism."
- C. "Thank goodness, this is over! I will never have to worry about throid problems again."
- D. " I should increase my caloric intake to replace what I lost during the surgery."
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: An adult who had a total thyroidectomy will no longer be able to produce thyroid hormones naturally. Therefore, the client will need to take replacement hormones for the rest of their life to maintain normal bodily functions and prevent complications associated with hypothyroidism. This statement demonstrates an adequate understanding of the long-term care needed after a total thyroidectomy. The other options do not accurately reflect the necessary long-term care for someone who has undergone a total thyroidectomy.
