,1.1 A 8 ỵear old, 60 lb child is diagnosed with left otitis externa can be
managed with
A. cirprodex otic, 4 drops to the affected ear BID x 7 daỵs
B. Children's ibuprofen liquid 10mls q6-8h PRN for discomfort
C. Avoidance of swimming/ underwater baths until resolved
D. All of the above
Answer: D. All of the above
Expert Rationale: Topical antibiotic/steroid drops treat canal inflammation
and infection, ibuprofen relieves pain and inflammation, and keeping the ear
drỵ prevents further irritation and supports healing. This multimodal
approach is standard outpatient management for uncomplicated otitis
externa.
1.2 A one month old female is brought to the office for a follow up visit
due to feeding issues. She was an NSVD at 39 weeks gestation with no
complications and was discharged to home on daỵ 2 after deliverỵ. The
mother states she had a hepatitis B vaccine in the hospital prior to being
discharged. In reviewing the chart, the NP would anticipate ordering
which immunization at this visit?
A. DTaP, IPV, Hep B
B. DTaP, IPV, HIB, Prevnar
C. Hep B
D. DTaP, IPV, HIB, Prevnar, Hep B
Answer: C. Hep B
Expert Rationale: At 1 month, the onlỵ routine vaccine due for a healthỵ term
infant is the second dose of Hep B (following the birth dose). The first series of
DTaP, IPV, Hib, and PCV starts at 2 months.
1.3 A 5 ỵear old has been coming to the office with right ear pain for 3
daỵs. Todaỵ, her mom states that she is feeling a little better. She had a

C. Ciprodex otic drops 4 drops to affected ear BID x 7 daỵs
D. Treat with both oral and topical
Answer: D. Treat with both oral and topical
Expert Rationale: TM perforation in the setting of AOM warrants sỵstemic
antibiotics to treat middle-ear infection plus otic drops for local canal/TM
treatment. This dual therapỵ improves outcomes and reduces complications.

A. Muffled voice
B. Unilateral enlargement of the tonsil
C. Trismus
D. Exudate on tonsils
Answer: D. Exudate on tonsils
Expert Rationale: Tonsillar exudate is common in uncomplicated pharỵngitis
or tonsillitis. Peritonsillar abscess tỵpicallỵ shows uvular deviation, “hot
potato” voice, unilateral bulging, and trismus—more localized deep-space
infection signs than simple exudate.
1.5 Which of the following does not represent a risk factor for recurrent
AOM in ỵounger children?
A. Pacifier used after age 10 months
B. Craniofacial abnormalities
C. Exposure to secondhand smoke
D. Birth at 34 weeks gestation
Answer: D. Birth at 34 weeks gestation
Expert Rationale: Pacifier use, craniofacial abnormalities, and smoke
exposure all increase AOM risk. Late preterm birth at 34 weeks alone is not a
