Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a 5-year-old child who is postoperative following a tonsillectomy. Which of the following pain scales should the nurse use to determine the child's pain level?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: FACES. FACES is a pain scale specifically designed for children, including those as young as 3 years old. It uses facial expressions to help children express their pain level. This scale is more appropriate for younger children like the 5-year-old postoperative patient. FLACC is typically used for infants and nonverbal patients. Visual Analog Scale and Oucher are more suitable for older children or adults.
