A
22-year-old male has a shard of glass impaled in his cheek. You look
inside his mouth and see minor bleeding. The patient is conscious and
alert with adequate breathing. You should:<span>- carefully stabilize the shard of glass and allow him to suction his own mouth.</span>
Answer:
The patient should lie with the affected ear upward, and then the drops should be instilled. This position should be maintained for five minutes to facilitate penetration of the drops into the ear canal
Explanation:
Know which noises can cause damage (those at or above 85 decibels). Wear earplugs or other protective devices when involved in a loud activity (activity-specific earplugs and earmuffs are available at hardware and sporting goods stores). If you can't reduce the noise or protect yourself from it, move away from it.
