After reviewing otoscope use for assessment of the ear with the nursing staff, which response from a participant reflects safe follow-up care for when there is earwax covering the tympanic membrane? quizlet

Respuesta :

When there is earwax covering the tympanic membrane, then this wax has to be removed using a variety of techniques, including irrigation after wax softeners, mechanical removal, micro suction, wax softeners/solvents,  and syringing with unregulated manual syringes.

A yellow waxy substance called cerumen, which lubricates and protects the ear, is secreted by glands that line the inside of the ear. Cerumen is the name given to earwax in medicine.

Earwax usually falls out on its own, so there is no need to remove it. The wax travels from the outer ear canal to the ear's entrance. It then either falls out or comes out while showering.

The ear typically produces enough wax to meet its demands, though some people have more earwax than others,

This earwax can accumulate and obstruct the ear canal, particularly when it is pushed in by a finger, cotton swab, or another instrument. This is referred to as "impaction." A physician can remove it if it interferes with hearing or if it causes pain or discomfort.
