Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Rating scales can be introduced at the age of 4 or 5 years. The FPS-R is designed for use by children and asks the child to choose a face that shows how much hurt (or pain) you have now. Young children should not be asked to rate pain by using numbers.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Responses to poorly controlled acute pain include tachycardia, elevated blood pressure, and hypoventilation. Confusion and depression are associated with poorly controlled chronic pain
