Answer to Question 1

D
To help clarify thought patterns, nurses should ask themselves, What are my choices? By exploring alternative choices, nurses can identify the most viable action to take. If nurses do not ask this question, they may limit themselves and make the wrong choice.

Answer to Question 2

D
The Wong FACES Pain Rating Scale can be used for children ages 3 years (36 months) and above. The patient is asked to point to the face that best describes the pain, from a smiley face to a tearful one.
