The client is undergoing a tuning fork test to assess for hearing conduction. The nurse performs a Rinne test. How will this test be performed?

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.

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.

Strike the tuning fork and place it in the center of the skull.

Stand three feet away and have the client repeat back what you have whispered.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

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.

A. Long-standing cardiopulmonary disease. B. Fungal infection. C. Iron-deficiency anemia. D. Myocardial infarction.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Myocardial infarction. Gout is a form of arthritis that results from the deposition of uric acid crystals in joints and tissues. It occurs due to hyperuricemia, a condition characterized by an elevated level of uric acid in the blood. The most common cause of hyperuricemia is the overproduction or under-excretion of uric acid. Myocardial infarction is a condition that results from the blockage of blood flow to the heart, which can lead to tissue death. Gout is not caused by long-standing cardiopulmonary disease, fungal infection, or iron- deficiency anemia.

Choice A, Long-standing cardiopulmonary disease, is incorrect because it is not a cause of gout.

Choice B, Fungal infection, is incorrect because it is not a cause of gout. Choice C, Iron-deficiency anemia, is incorrect because it is not a cause of gout.
