Homework Answers
1. Answer is C) Straighten the ear canal by pulling the pinna down and back.
Because in a child, the ear canal is straightened by pulling the pinna down and back. In adults, the pinna is pulled up and outward. Pulling the lobe and administering eardrops without pulling on the ear lobe are not appropriate actions.
3. Answer is: C) Offer a brief, concrete explanation of the procedure at the patient’s level and with the parent or caregiver present.
4. Answer is: D. The right patient, the right diagnosis, the right drug, the right route and the right time
The nine rights of medication administrations are: 1. Right patient; 2. Right drug; 3. Right route; 4. Right time; 5. Right dose; 6. Right documentation; 7. Right action; 8. Right form; 9. Right response
So the answer must be 'D'.
5. Answer is b. Assisting the patient with obtaining and learning to use a calendar or pill container
Calendars or pill containers may be helpful to patients who may forget to take prescribed drugs as scheduled. The nurse must ensure that the patient knows how to use these reminder tools. Teaching coping strategies is a helpful suggestion but will not help with remembering to take medications. Asking the prescriber to reduce the number of drugs that are prescribed is not an appropriate action by the nurse. Assuring the patient that she will not forget is false reassurance by the nurse and inappropriate when education is needed.
