Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to instill ear drops to a 3-year-old child. Which of the following techniques should the nurse use?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct technique for instilling ear drops in a 3-year-old child is to pull the auricle down and back. This is because the ear canal is straighter in children, and pulling the auricle down and back helps to straighten the ear canal, allowing for easier administration of the drops. Pulling the auricle up and out (choice
B) or in any other direction can cause the drops to not reach the eardrum effectively.
Choices C and D are incorrect as they do not align with the anatomical structure of the ear canal in children. In summary, choice A is correct because it optimizes the delivery of ear drops for a 3-year-old child, while the other choices are incorrect due to their potential to hinder proper administration.
