Read the following health record excerpt:I have performed tympanocentesis in the office and sent the fluid for culture. While awaiting the result, we will treat him with an IM antibiotic. I will also send a fungal culture to rule out otomycosis. While Johnny has mild mastoidalgia, he is afebrile today and in no distress, and his ear is not displaced. Thus, I do not think he has acute mastoiditis, but I told Johnny's parents what to look for.  Given how long Johnny has had this infection, he will need to see audiology for audiometry when he is better. According to the health record excerpt, which statement is NOT true?

A. The patient has pain in the mastoid. B. The patient had a hearing test. C. Johnny's parents are monitoring him for symptoms of mastoid inflammation. D. The author ran a test to see if the patient has a fungal infection in his ear. E. The author punctured the patient's ear drum and sent the fluid for culture.
