Resposta

For the first question, the most likely assessment finding for the 35-year-old male patient with purulent discharge in the right ear after foreign body removal would be:a. Perforation and cholesteatomaPurulent discharge in the ear after foreign body removal suggests an infection or inflammation in the middle ear. The tympanic membrane (eardrum) may show signs of perforation (a hole or tear) and cholesteatoma (a benign growth of skin cells in the middle ear). These findings are consistent with the patient's symptoms and history.For the second question, the most likely assessment finding that confirms the diagnosis of visual distortion secondary to refractive errors in the 55-year-old male patient would be:c. Blurred visionRefractive errors, such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), or astigmatism, can cause visual distortion or blurred vision. The patient's past medical history of corneal repair after a traumatic eye injury may have contributed to the development of refractive errors. Blurred vision is a common symptom of refractive errors and confirms the diagnosis of visual distortion in this patient.
