A nurse is caring for a child who has acute otitis media.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following classic assessment findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Pulling on the affected ear, acute onset of fever and otalgia. This classic assessment finding suggests acute otitis media, an infection of the middle ear. Pulling on the ear (due to ear pain), fever, and earache (otalgia) are common symptoms of this condition. The other choices are incorrect because: A: Itching and tenderness when manipulating the affected ear lobe are more indicative of dermatological conditions rather than otitis media. B: Fullness in the ear and a clogged sensation without other systemic findings could be related to earwax buildup or eustachian tube dysfunction, not necessarily otitis media. C: Edema and erythema of the external canal only may indicate external otitis (swimmer's ear) rather than acute otitis media.
