When removing a foreign body from the nose, which complication poses
the greatest risk to the patient?
A. Sepsis
B. Septal hematoma
C. Aspiration of the foreign body
D. Inability to remove the foreign body Correct Answer-C. Aspiration of
the foreign body
All of these complications are possible. However, you must take
extreme care to avoid dislodging the foreign body and driving it deeper
into the nasopharynx because this may lead to aspiration and airway
obstruction.
Which dental condition causes pain, nasal discharge, and drooling?
, A. Dental abscess
B. Pericoronitis
C. Tooth eruption
D. Gingivitis Correct Answer-C. Tooth eruption
Between ages 6 months and 3 years, primary teeth erupt, causing various
signs and symptoms, including pain, nasal discharge, irritability,
disrupted sleep, and crying. Increased saliva production causes
significant drooling and diarrhea. Pericoronitis causes extreme pain,
especially when the patient opens and closes the mouth. It also may
produce an earache on the affected side, sore throat, and fever. A
localized dental abscess may cause severe pain unrelieved by analgesics,
fever, malaise, foul breath odor, and slight facial swelling near the
affected tooth. An extensive abscess may lead to facial and neck edema,
trismus, dysphagia, difficulty handling secretions, and airway
obstruction. Gingivitis (gum inflammation) produces red and swollen
gum margins, pain that is unrelieved by over-the-counter analgesics,
difficulty chewing, and low-grade fever.
Which action occurs initially when bacterial plaque develops?
A. Acids form on the affected area.
B. The pulp becomes inflamed.
C. Pus leaks from the apex of the affected tooth.
D. The breath takes on a fetid odor. Correct Answer-A. Acids form on
the affected area.
