A nurse is caring for a toddler who has otitis media.
Which of the following assessment findings should the nurse expect?

Erythema and edema of the affected ear.

Pain when manipulating the affected ear lobe.

Tugging on the affected ear lobe.

Clear drainage from the affected ear.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

Choice A rationale

Erythema and edema of the affected ear are more commonly associated with external otitis (swimmer’s ear) rather than otitis media. Otitis media involves the middle ear, not the external ear canal.

Choice B rationale

Pain when manipulating the affected ear lobe is also indicative of external otitis. In otitis media, the pain is usually deeper and not affected by manipulation of the ear lobe.

Choice C rationale

Tugging on the affected ear lobe is a common sign in toddlers with otitis media. This behavior is due to the discomfort and pressure in the middle ear caused by the infection.

Choice D rationale

Clear drainage from the affected ear is not typical of otitis media. If there is drainage, it is usually purulent (pus-like) and indicates a ruptured eardrum.

Correct Answer is ["A","C","D"]

Explanation

Choice A rationale

A family history of breast cancer is a significant risk factor because genetic mutations, such as BRCA1 and BRCA2, can be inherited and increase the likelihood of developing breast cancer.

Choice B rationale

Multiparity (having multiple pregnancies) is generally considered to reduce the risk of breast cancer. This is because pregnancy and breastfeeding lower the number of menstrual cycles a woman has, reducing her lifetime exposure to estrogen.

Choice C rationale

Exposure of the chest to high-dose radiation, especially during childhood or young adulthood, increases the risk of breast cancer. Radiation can cause mutations in breast cells, leading to cancer.

Choice D rationale

Previous cancer of the breast, uterus, or ovaries increases the risk of developing breast cancer. This is due to shared risk factors and the possibility of metastasis or recurrence.

A. Connective tissue. B. Peripheral vascular system. C. Lymphatic system. D. Skeletal tissue.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease that primarily affects connective tissue. The immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue, leading to inflammation and damage.

Choice B rationale

SLE does not originate in the peripheral vascular system, although it can cause complications in blood vessels.

Choice C rationale

While the lymphatic system is involved in immune responses, SLE primarily targets connective tissue.

Choice D rationale

SLE does not originate in skeletal tissue, though it can cause joint pain and arthritis.
