Which symptom is described as discharge that may be clear, yellow, white, matted, bloody, or crusting?

• A. Vision Changes
• B. Discharge
• C. Earache
• D. Hearing Changes

Answer: (B)

Discharge is the symptom being described here. The statement lists fluid from a body opening that can vary in color and appearance—clear, yellow, white, bloody, or crusting or matted together. That pattern fits discharge best, often seen with ocular infections (conjunctivitis) or other mucous membranes, where the liquid may be watery, purulent, or crusted after drying. The other options describe changes in vision, ear pain, or hearing, which are not about the presence of fluid discharge. When documenting, note the site (e.g., eye), color, consistency, whether it’s crusted or matted, unilateral vs. bilateral, and any related symptoms.
