Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The Riley Infant Pain Scale measures six parameters: facial expression, body movement, sleep, verbal or vocal ability, consolability, and response to movements and touch. The Pain Observation Scale for Young Children (POCIS) measures seven parameters: facial expression, cry, breathing, torso, arms and fingers, legs and toes, and state of arousal. The CRIES tool assesses five parameters: cry, oxygen required for saturation levels less than 95, increased vital signs, facial expression, and sleeplessness. The FLACC tool measures five parameters: facial expression, legs, activity, cry, and consolability.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Abrasions or ecchymotic areas on the wrists or ankles may be present if the child was tied to a bed or against a wall. Being thin and tall is not an indication of abuse. A scald burn on the chest could have occurred while eating a meal at home. A rash on the buttocks is not an indication of physical abuse.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
