A nursing instructor is teaching pre-nursing students in a pathophysiology class. What would the instructor teach the students about Ménière's disease?

The instructor should teach students about endolymphatic hydrops in the pathophysiology of Ménière's disease.

Explanation:

The options for this question are:

A) It is referred to as endolymphatic hydrops.

B) It originates in the middle ear.

C) It is referred to as lymphatic hydrops.

D) It originates in the outer ear.

Ménière's disease is a pathology that causes dizziness, motor instability and progressive hearing loss, as a result of disorders in the inner ear.

In the inner ear, the endolymphatic system is one of the main structures involved in the sense of balance. Obstruction of the snail aqueduct or inflammation of the labyrinth produces increased endolymphatic volume and pressure. This produces dilation of the endolymphatic duct and the symptoms of the disease.
