Answer to Question 1

Answer:3
Rationale:Severe pain requires administration of pain medication for pain relief. Comfort measures and diversional activities are not effective against severe pain in children.Comfort measures should be given to every child and can be used after pain medication is given. A child in severe pain is not capable of participating in or enjoying diversional activities.Preparin g the child for painful procedures is not appropriate when the child is already in pain.
