Answer to Question 1

D
Distraction can be very effective in helping to control pain, but it must be appropriate to the child's developmental level. It is rarely able to provide total pain relief and is not the best method for pain relief. Children in severe pain are not distractible.

Answer to Question 2

B
No data are available to support the belief that infants and children are at higher risk of respiratory depression when given narcotic analgesics. This is a myth. It is true that infants may have sleep difficulties after a painful event. This is not a myth. It is true that pain in children is multidimensional and subjective. This is not a myth. The child's cognitive level, along with emotional factors and past experiences, does influence the perception of pain in children. This is not a myth.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
