Instillation of mineral oil is the correct action when there is an insect in the ear. This method can immobilize the insect, making it easier to remove and reducing discomfort for the patient. Other methods, like using hot water or forceps, can cause harm or push the insect further into the ear canal. Carbamide peroxide is used for earwax removal, not for insects in the ear.
