the nurse provides teaching for a client scheduled for a stapedectomy. Which statement provides correct info about what the client should expect post-op?further, but temporary, hearing loss

Respuesta :

The client should expect further, but temporary hearing loss after the stapedectomy procedure.

What is stapedectomy?

Stapedectomy is a surgery of the middle ear that is performed to improve hearing. Stapedectomy removes a small bone known as stapes from the middle ear.

Stapedectomy is often done to treat the hearing loss that is caused by otosclerosis.  Otosclerosis damages the stape bone (tiny U-shaped bone) in the middle ear which affects the hearing of a person. The stapes bone sends sound waves from the middle to the inner ear, which is how we hear.

So in stapedectomy, the damaged stapes bone is removed and is replaced with an artificial device.

So stapedectomy is done to repair damaged hearing.

Therefore, the client should expect further, but temporary hearing loss after the stapedectomy procedure.
