Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) scale would be used to assess pain in the nonverbal patient. The Toddler Preschooler Postoperative Pain Scale (TPPPS), Pain Observation Scale for Young Children (POCIS), and Modified Objective Pain Scale (MOPS) would not be appropriate for this patient.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The ketogenic diet is used in children and includes restriction of carbohydrate and protein intake. Fat is the primary fuel that produces acidosis and ketosis in the ketogenic diet. Salt and vitamin K are not restricted in the ketogenic diet.
