Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client for conductive hearing loss. When using the Rinne test, which of the following results should the nurse identify as an indication that the client has conductive hearing loss of the left ear?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Air conduction is less than bone conduction in the left ear. In conductive hearing loss, there is a problem conducting sound waves through the outer or middle ear. During the Rinne test, the tuning fork is first placed on the mastoid process behind the ear to test bone conduction. If the client has conductive hearing loss in the left ear, bone conduction will be better than air conduction when the tuning fork is placed near the ear canal. This indicates that the sound is better conducted through the bone (mastoid) than through the air (ear canal), confirming conductive hearing loss in the left ear.

Incorrect choices:
A: Sound is lateralizing to the right ear - This is not indicative of conductive hearing loss.
B: Sound is lateralizing to the left ear - Lateralization does not provide information about conductive hearing loss.
C: Air conduction is greater than bone conduction in the left ear - This result
