Question 1 of 5
How should the LPN document pain for a non-verbal client using the FLACC pain scale with these findings?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: '4'. The FLACC pain scale assesses pain in non-verbal patients based on five categories: Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, and Consolability. In this case, the client exhibits occasional grimacing (1 point), relaxed legs (0 points), squirming (1 point), moans and whimpers (1 point), and is distractible (1 point). Adding these points together results in a total pain score of 4.
Therefore, the LPN should document a pain score of 4 for this non-verbal client.
Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the total pain score based on the given findings.
