Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The Riley Infant Pain Scale measures six parameters: facial expression, body movement, sleep, verbal or vocal ability, consolability, and response to movements and touch. The Pain Observation Scale for Young Children (POCIS) measures seven parameters: facial expression, cry, breathing, torso, arms and fingers, legs and toes, and state of arousal. The CRIES tool assesses five parameters: cry, oxygen required for saturation levels less than 95, increased vital signs, facial expression, and sleeplessness. The FLACC tool measures five parameters: facial expression, legs, activity, cry, and consolability.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Abrasions or ecchymotic areas on the wrists or ankles may be present if the child was tied to a bed or against a wall. Being thin and tall is not an indication of abuse. A scald burn on the chest could have occurred while eating a meal at home. A rash on the buttocks is not an indication of physical abuse.
