Case Scenario
Diagnostic Exams &
Findings
Risk Factors
You meet patient J. B, a two-and-a-half-year-old boy. His parents ask for an antibiotic
prescription right away. J. Bs mom is sure that he has an ear infection.
According to her, the last time he had these symptoms he was diagnosed with
an ear infection.
Nursing Care of Patient with Otitis Media
Surgical
Management
Pathophysiology
J. B's parents tell you that he complains of right ear pain. He has not had any ear discharge.
His symptoms started yesterday afternoon, and this morning his rectal temperature was 38.5°C.
Last week, J. B suffered from a mild upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) which he caught
from daycare. He has not had any diarrhea or vomiting. The only relevant point on past
history is a previous AOM at the age of one which was treated for ten days with an unknown
antibiotic. He has no allergies or craniofacial abnormalities. He is otherwise healthy.
On physical examination, J. B is awake and playful. He has a runny nose with a clear
discharge. His vital signs are within normal limits for his age, except for an oral temperature of
38.3°C. His lungs are clear to auscultation, there are no other abnormal findings on examination.
There is no lymphadenopathy. On otoscopic examination, you see a bulging and erythematous
right tympanic membrane. His left tympanic membrane is normal. J. B is most likely suffering
from acute otitis media.

• Assess the parent's current knowledge on the condition, the risks of
exposing the infant/child to passive smoking, feeding activities witl
the infant, and exposure to illness.
• Explain possible causes of OM: exposure to illness of others,
irritation from environmental smoke, or formula entering the
eustachian tube when the infant is fed in a supine position.
• Provide privacy for discussion, promote trust, remain
nonjudgmental, and support parents.
• Teach parents (and child if age- appropriate) about OM using an
ear model for demonstration. Ask parents to verbalize their
understanding of teaching.
