Question 1 of 5

A nurse is collecting data from an infant who has otitis media. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

A. Bluish-green discharge from the ear canal B. Erythema and edema of the affected auricle C. Increase in appetite D. Tugging on the affected ear lobe

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Bluish-green discharge from the ear canal is not a typical finding in otitis media. This could suggest a different condition, such as an external ear infection or a ruptured eardrum. Erythema and edema of the affected auricle (outer part of the ear) are not typical findings in otitis media. These symptoms are more commonly associated with conditions affecting the external ear, such as otitis externa. An increase in appetite is not typically associated with otitis media. In fact, children with otitis media may have a decreased appetite due to discomfort or pain while swallowing. Tugging on the affected ear lobe is a common sign of otitis media in infants and young children. This is often due to the pain and discomfort caused by the infection.
