Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a 4-year-old child following an orthopaedic procedure. When assessing the child for pain, which of the following pain scales should the nurse use?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: FACES. This pain scale is appropriate for children aged 4 and older as it uses facial expressions to indicate pain levels. Young children can easily point to the face that represents their pain intensity. It is widely used in pediatric settings due to its simplicity and effectiveness in assessing pain in non-verbal or young children. The other choices are not as suitable for a 4-year-old child post-orthopaedic procedure. B: Word-graphic and C: Numeric may be challenging for a young child to understand and communicate. D: CRIES is typically used for infants, not for a 4-year-old child.
