Discussion Question 1
Children and adults often present with complaints of ear pain.
Your differential diagnoses should include otitis media and
otitis externa, in addition to other possibilities such as foreign
body obstruction and cerumen impactions. Give a brief
overview of otitis media and otitis externa, including signs and
symptoms of the most common causative agents for both. In
addition, discuss the physical exam findings that you might see
with the conditions when visualizing various parts of the ear
such as ear canal or the tympanic membrane. How will your
assessment of the ear differ in children versus adults? What
would be essential health history questions to ask patients that
present with ear pain and why? Support your answers with
appropriate references.
Discussion Question 2
Discuss the physical assessment of a patient who presences with
the complaint of cervical lymphadenopathy. What are the
specific lymph nodes that you will assess? How do you palpate
the lymph nodes and what are the normal versus abnormal
findings? In the presence of abnormal findings, what diagnostic
tests would you order and why? Also, what are the possible
differential diagnoses and would your recommendations differ
for adult, pediatric, and geriatric patients?
