Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a toddler who has otitis media. Which of the following assessment findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Tugging on the affected ear lobe. This is a common sign of otitis media in toddlers, indicating pain or discomfort. Tugging on the ear is often a way for the child to relieve pressure and discomfort caused by the infection. It is important for the nurse to recognize this sign as it can help in the diagnosis and management of otitis media.
A: Erythema and edema of the affected ear may be present but are not specific to otitis media.
B: Pain when manipulating the affected ear lobe is possible but not as indicative as tugging.
D: Clear drainage from the affected ear is more commonly seen in cases of otitis externa, not otitis media.
