A child who has otitis media
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a child who has otitis media. Which of the following assessment findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Tugging on the affected ear lobe. This is a typical assessment finding in a child with otitis media. Tugging on the ear lobe indicates ear pain, a common symptom of otitis media. It occurs because the middle ear is inflamed and filled with fluid, causing pressure and discomfort. Erythema and edema of the affected ear (choice
B) may be present but are not as specific to otitis media as ear tugging. Pain when manipulating the affected ear lobe (choice
C) is expected due to the inflammation. Clear drainage from the affected ear (choice
D) is more indicative of a perforated eardrum rather than otitis media.
