Answer to Question 1

A, B, E
Feedback:
When conducting a pain experience inventory with parents, the nurse should ask how the child usually reacts to pain, how the parents know that the child is in pain, and what the parents do when the child is in pain. Questions not appropriate for this inventory include asking if the child uses pain as a control mechanism and if the parents are concerned about addiction to pain medication.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
A child who weighs between 40 and 80 pounds should ride in a booster seat that utilizes both the lap and shoulder belts in the back seat. When a child is large enough to sit up straight with the knees bent at the front edge of the seat, then he or she may sit directly on the seat of the car with lap/shoulder belt securely and appropriately attached. The back seat of the car is the safest place for a child to ride. A forward-facing car seat with harness and top tether is for a preschooler who weighs less than 40 pounds.
