Toddler who is cognitively impaired


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is evaluating the pain level of a toddler who is cognitively impaired to a non-pharmacologic 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. The FLACC scale is specifically designed for assessing pain in non-verbal or cognitively impaired individuals, such as toddlers. It evaluates five categories: Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, and Consolability. Each category is scored from 0-2, and the total score helps gauge the pain level. This scale is effective for assessing pain in individuals who cannot verbalize their discomfort.
Visual analog (
B) and FACES (
C) scales rely on the patient's ability to understand and communicate their pain level, which may not be suitable for a cognitively impaired toddler. The CRIES scale (
D) is used for newborns and infants, not toddlers.
