Answer to Question 1

B
In the Poker Chip Tool, four chips are used to represent a hurt. One chip represents a little hurt, and four chips represent the most hurt the child could have. Pain tools are valid only if used as directed; this tool uses four chips. Adolescents are able to think abstractly. They can describe, quantify, and identify intensity and feelings about pain. The Poker Chip Tool is recommended for children ages 4 to 12 . Self-report tools are effective in children older than 3 years of age, not 2 years of age.

Answer to Question 2

C
Ibuprofen is a type of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID) that is used primarily for pain associated with inflammation. Opioids are the preferred drugs for the management of acute, severe pain, including postoperative pain, posttraumatic pain, pain from vaso-occlusive crisis, and chronic cancer pain. Acetaminophen lacks the antiinflammatory effects of NSAIDs and provides only minimal antiinflammatory relief. Midazolam (Versed) is a short-acting drug used for conscious sedation and preoperative sedation, and as an induction agent for general anesthesia.
