Question 1 of 5
Kathy is working in a mother-baby unit. Which pain scale is used to determine if the baby is in pain?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: NIPS (Neonatal Infant Pain Scale) is used to determine if a baby is in pain. It assesses facial expression, crying, breathing patterns, arms, legs, and state of arousal. NIPS is specifically designed for newborns and infants, making it the most suitable pain scale for babies in a mother-baby unit.
Summary of other options:
B: FACES pain rating scale for children is used for older children, not infants.
C: PIPP Scale is also used for assessing pain in preterm and term infants, but NIPS is more commonly used.
D: FLACC Scale is used for nonverbal patients, but NIPS is more tailored for infants.
