Question 1 of 5
An adult client is to receive ear drops four times a day to treat an inner ear infection. What is the correct nursing procedure to follow when administering this type of medication?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C - Pull the auricle up and back before instilling the drops. This is the correct nursing procedure for administering ear drops in adults because pulling the auricle up and back straightens the ear canal, allowing for proper and effective delivery of the medication into the ear. This position also helps prevent the drops from running out of the ear.
Choice A (Pull the auricle down and back) is incorrect as it can cause the drops to run out of the ear canal.
Choice B (Have client pull down on earlobe for 5 minutes after instillation) is incorrect as it is not necessary and does not affect the absorption of the medication.
Choice D (Heat the drops in the microwave for 10 seconds) is incorrect as heating the drops can cause burns or damage to the delicate ear structures.
