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.
