Question 1 of 5

A parent reports their preschool-aged child often asks others to repeat statements and does not articulate common words correctly. The parents think the child has a hearing impairment due to multiple episodes of ear infections and rupture tympanic membranes. The nurse inspects the outer ear canal using an otoscope and no obstruction, inflammation, or drainage is observed. Which action is most important for the nurse to implement?

A. Clap behind the child's ears to assess for a reflex response to sound. B. Refer the child for further evaluation and screening with audiometric testing. C. Explain that preschool-agers may not respond when engaged in a task at play. D. Inspect the nasal canals and oropharynx for inflammation and drainage.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Referring for audiometric testing is critical given the history of ear infections and speech difficulties, indicating a potential hearing impairment requiring specialized evaluation.
