Question

you are taking care of julia, a toddler, in the home of a client who has just given birth to her second child. the toddler has been crying and giving you a hard time when you try to feed her. she seems to be pointing to her right ear when she cries. her mother thinks she is just teething, but you believe her discomfort is a sign of something else. what ear disorder could julia be suffering from? ch:34 tinnitus. acute otitis media vertigo otosclerosis

Explanation:

Acute otitis media is an ear - infection common in children that can cause discomfort. Tinnitus is ringing in the ears which is less likely to be the main cause of general discomfort while feeding. Otosclerosis is a more long - term and structural ear problem and vertigo is related to a feeling of dizziness, not typical discomfort while feeding. Acute otitis media can cause pain during activities like feeding, making it a likely cause of Julia's discomfort.

Answer:

C. Acute otitis media
