1. In addition to blood, which fluid was leaking from Mr. Hancock’s right ear? Which structures must have been damaged to allow this to happen? Why would this lead Mr. Hancock’s doctors to give him antibiotics? Why was the head of his bed elevated? 2. Each of the four observations on Mr. Hancock’s chart indicates damage to a cranial nerve. Identify each cranial nerve involved. If applicable, identify which specific branch of that nerve is involved. Mr. Hancock was given a course of antibiotics, the head of his bed was elevated by 30°, and he was placed under close observation. After 24 hours, doctors noted that the right side of Mr. Hancock’s face showed signs of drooping, with incomplete eye closure and asymmetric facial expressions. Mr. Hancock’s right eye showed minimal tear production. The weakness and asymmetry on the right side of his face began to subside after a few days, and the leak of fluid from his ear stopped, but he continued to complain of paresthesia, diplopia, and an…
