Correct Answer is A

Explanation

36 to 48 hours. Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, which is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected black-legged ticks. The tick must be attached to the skin for at least 36 to 48 hours for the bacterium to be transmitted. The nurse should advise the client to seek medical attention promptly.

Choice B is incorrect because the tick must be attached for a longer duration of time for the bacterium to be transmitted.

Choice C is incorrect because the tick must be attached for a longer duration of time for the bacterium to be transmitted.

Choice D is incorrect because the tick must be attached for a longer duration of time for the bacterium to be transmitted.

A. Have the client close their eyes, lightly rub fingers together 12 inches away from the ear, and have the client identify which side the sound is heard. B. First, place the tuning fork on the mastoid process behind the ear. When the client states the sound is no longer heard, place the tuning fork beside the ear. C. Strike the tuning fork and place it in the center of the skull. D. Stand three feet away and have the client repeat back what you have whispered.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

In the Rinne test, the nurse first places a tuning fork on the mastoid process behind the ear, and when the client states that the sound is no longer heard, the tuning fork is placed beside the ear. This test is done to compare bone conduction with air conduction. When sound is no longer heard via bone conduction, the sound will still be heard via air conduction.

Choice A is incorrect because it describes the Weber test, not the Rinne test.

Choice C is incorrect because it is not a standard hearing test.

Choice D is incorrect because it describes the Whisper test, which is also used to test for hearing loss.
