The nurse helps the older adult to remove cerumen from the ears. Which of the
following interventions should be included in this plan?
A) Gently irrigate the external auditory canal with warm water.
B) Push the cerumen out with cotton-tipped applicators.
C) Use a hairclip to clean out the ear.
D) Use forceful stream of solution. - Answers -Ans:
A) Gently irrigate the external auditory canal with warm water.
Cerumen removal can be aided by gentle irrigation of the external auditory canal with
warm water or a hydrogen peroxide and water solution. Avoid the use of cotton-tipped
applicators for cerumen removal, because they can push the cerumen back into the ear
canal and cause an impaction. Hairpins or similar devices should never be used. A
forceful stream of solution should not be used during this procedure because it can
cause perforation of the eardrum.

following should the nurse include in the care plan?
A)Brightly colored throw rugs to lighten up the client's room.
B)Fluorescent overhead lights on at night.
C)A clock that chimes the hour in the client's living room.
D)Radio playing music in the client's room around the clock. - Answers -Ans:
C)A clock that chimes the hour in the client's living room.
Attention must be paid to stimulation of senses during the daylight hours. Music in the

continual room lighting interfere with sleep-wake cycles. Bright colors are helpful but
throw rugs are to be avoided as a tripping hazard.
