Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a toddler at a well-child visit. At what point in the physical examination should the nurse examine the childβs tympanic membrane?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C - At the end. This is because examining the tympanic membrane requires the child to be still, which can be challenging. By conducting this examination at the end of the physical examination, the nurse can ensure that the child has been distracted by other parts of the exam, making it easier to examine the tympanic membrane. Additionally, the nurse can use the information gathered from examining other body systems to inform their assessment of the ear. Examining the tympanic membrane at the beginning may cause the child to become fussy or uncooperative, affecting the accuracy of the assessment.
Choice A and B are incorrect because examining the chest, abdomen, head, and neck should not interfere with the tympanic membrane examination.
