Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nurse should discuss the impact of amplified music on hearing with young adults and discourage listening to very high amplified music (greater than 50% of maximum volume), especially for prolonged periods. Cerumen may need to be regularly removed for older clients, but this is not a routine need for younger adults. Only women of childbearing age who have not been previously vaccinated or exposed to rubella will require immunization. Otoscopic examinations are not necessary for all clients.
