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. FLACC stands for Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability, and is a pain assessment tool commonly used for nonverbal infants and children. For a 6-month-old postoperative infant, FLACC is appropriate as it assesses behavioral cues such as facial expressions, leg movements, activity level, cry, and ability to be consoled. The other options are not as suitable for infants, as they may require verbal or cognitive understanding, which infants lack. FACES and Visual Analog Scale are more appropriate for older children or adults, Oucher is typically used for children who can communicate using numbers and pictures.
