Question 1 of 5
A nurse is evaluating the pain level of a toddler who is cognitively impaired to a nonpharmacologic intervention. Which of the following pain scales should the nurse use to evaluate the toddler's pain level?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: FLACC. This scale is suitable for evaluating pain in toddlers and individuals with cognitive impairments as it assesses Facial expression, Leg movement, Activity level, Cry, and Consolability. It is effective in capturing pain cues in nonverbal or limited verbal individuals. The other options, B: Visual Analog Scale, C: CRIES, and D: FACES, are not as appropriate for toddlers with cognitive impairments due to their reliance on self-reporting or limited applicability in this population. The FLACC scale is specifically designed to assess pain in nonverbal or cognitively impaired individuals, making it the most suitable choice in this scenario.
