Extract:
A pediatric nurse is assessing a child with otitis media that has frequent ear problems.
Question 1 of 5
The nurse recognizes that which of the following risk factors are associated with otitis media?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Frequent viral infections. Otitis media is commonly caused by bacterial or viral infections. Frequent viral infections can lead to inflammation and fluid buildup in the middle ear, increasing the risk of developing otitis media.
Choice A is incorrect because using cotton tipped swabs can actually push earwax deeper into the ear canal, leading to blockages and increasing the risk of otitis media.
Choice C is incorrect as playing in the pool does not directly increase the risk of otitis media.
Choice D is incorrect as cleaning the ears with vinegar is not a common risk factor for otitis media.
