The nurse is caring for a client experiencing hearing loss. The nurse uses the otoscope and notes a significant accumulation of cerumen. Which hearing loss type would be most accurate?

Sensorineural.

Mixed.

Central.

Conductive.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

Conductive hearing loss occurs when there is a blockage or damage in the outer or middle ear, which prevents sound from reaching the inner ear. The accumulation of cerumen in the ear canal can cause conductive hearing loss. Sensorineural hearing loss occurs due to damage to the inner ear or auditory nerve, while mixed hearing loss is a combination of both conductive and sensorineural hearing loss. Central hearing loss occurs due to damage in the central nervous system and is not related to cerumen buildup in the ear canal.

Correct Answer is ["A","B","D","E"]

Explanation

Pre-operative education is successful when the client states that there will be blood and mucus initially exiting the stoma, the stoma will shrink a bit over a period of weeks, the stoma should be beefy red, and drainage will begin approximately 24-48 hours following surgery. These statements indicate that the client has a good understanding of what to expect after surgery.

Option C, The stool will be of normal consistency and color, is not a correct answer as the stool from an ostomy is different from normal stool consistency and color.
