Question 1 of 5
A client has been receiving intravenous antibiotics (ototoxic) for several weeks. Which prevention strategy would be best for the nurse to recommend for this client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Formal hearing test. A formal hearing test is the best prevention strategy because it provides a comprehensive assessment of the client's hearing ability, allowing for early detection of any ototoxic effects from the antibiotics. This test can detect subtle changes in hearing that may not be noticeable otherwise. The other choices are not suitable for prevention in this scenario. The rubbing fingers test (
B) and the whisper hearing test (
D) are informal methods that are not as accurate or reliable as a formal hearing test. The tuning fork test (
C) is used to assess for conductive hearing loss, not for monitoring ototoxic effects.
