the abnormalities the nurse can document during the otoscopic examination are immobility of the tympanic membrane and middle ear effusion.

<h3>What is otoscopy?</h3>

Otoscopy can be defined as a clinical procedure used in the examination of the structures of the ear, particularly the external auditory canal, tympanic membrane, and even the  middle ear.

Clinicians carryout otoscopy during routine wellness physical exams and the evaluation of specific ear complaints

During  the otoscopic examination, the clinician utilizes an otoscope, also to see through or  to visualize the ear anatomy.

The abnormalities that can be documented include;

  • Immobility of the tympanic membrane moves in response to pressure.
  • The detection of middle ear effusion

Thus, the abnormalities the nurse can document during the otoscopic examination are immobility of the tympanic membrane and middle ear effusion.

Explain how and why drinking water affects:<br> (A) Blood plasma<br> (B) Blood plasma osmolarity
Oxana [17]

Answer:

(A) - The volume of the blood plasma increases on overhydration and decreaes on dehydration.

(B) - Osmolality of blood increases with the dehydration and decreases with the overhydration.

Explanation:

If the levels of drinking water is increased, then the plasma becomes more dilute and the plasma volume increases because <u>the water will be reabsorbed more and which as a result reduces plasma concentration of the solutes and increases volume of plasma.</u>

Plasma osmolality measures electrolyte-water balance of the body. <u>As mentioned, above on overhydration, the plasma concentration of the solutes decraeses which also decreases osmolality. So, Osmolality of blood increases with the dehydration and decreases with the overhydration. </u>Increased osmolality in blood stimulate the secretion of antidiuretic hormone which results in the increased water reabsorption and therefore, more concentrated urine and hence blood plasma with less concentration.
