Question

The mother of a 10-year-old child calls the doctor's office stating that she just administered eardrops to her child and the child is crying, stating that the ear hurts worse than it did before the eardrops were applied. What should the nurse tell the mother? Group of answer choices "You may give your child some Tylenol for the pain. The eardrops were probably too cold." "I will notify the health care provider. It is possible the eardrum may have ruptured." "This is an expected response after the instillation of eardrops. Place some cotton in the ear for comfort." "The eardrum is very sensitive; I'm sure the pain will go away once the drops have been absorbed."
