Question

question 45 (mandatory) (2 points) listen when performing an otoscopic examination on an adult, which of the following is true? you pull the pinna up and back before inserting speculum use the smallest speculum in order to decrease the amount of discomfort once the speculum is in the ear you may release the traction tilt the persons head toward you for easier speculum insertion

Explanation:

When performing an otoscopic examination on an adult, pulling the pinna up and back straightens the ear canal, allowing for better visualization. Using the smallest speculum may not provide the best view. Traction should be maintained while the speculum is in the ear. Tilting the head away from the examiner is more appropriate.

Answer:

You pull the pinna up and back before inserting speculum.
