ATI Capstone Week 13 Exam Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a 6-month-old infant who is postoperative following a myringotomy. Which of the following pain scales should the nurse use to determine the infant’s pain level?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: FLACC. The FLACC scale is commonly used in infants and young children who are unable to self-report their pain. FLACC stands for Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability, and assesses these behaviors to determine pain level. This scale is particularly helpful in assessing postoperative pain in infants, like the 6-month-old in this scenario. The other options (A: FACES, C: Oucher, D: Visual Analog Scale) rely on self-reporting or visual cues that may not be suitable for infants. FACES and Oucher scales are typically used for older children or adults who can verbalize their pain level, while the Visual Analog Scale requires cognitive abilities that infants do not possess.
