Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a 2-month-old infant following a surgical procedure. Which of the following pain rating scales should the nurse plan to use to determine the infant's level of pain?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: FLACC scale. The FLACC scale assesses pain in nonverbal patients like infants by evaluating facial expression, leg movement, activity, cry, and consolability. It is validated and widely used in pediatric settings. The FACES scale (
B) and OUCHER scale (
C) are more suitable for older children who can self-report pain. The PANAD scale (
D) doesn't exist, making it an invalid option. In summary, the FLACC scale is the best choice for assessing pain in a 2-month-old infant due to its reliability and appropriateness for nonverbal patients.
