Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Children should not receive acetylsalicylic acid or aspirin for pain relief because there is an association between aspirin administration and the development of Reye syndrome. Infant Tylenol and ibuprofen are safe to use with children for pain control. The child should not receive pain medication unless it is needed.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Distraction techniques aim at shifting a child's focus from pain to another activity or interest. Blowing soap bubbles is an example of distraction. Substitution of meaning or guided imagery is a distraction technique to help a child place another meaning on a painful procedure. Hypnosis is not a common pain management technique with children but can be effective if a child is properly trained in the technique so that the child can produce a trancelike state to effectively avoid sensing pain. Thought stopping is a technique in which children learn to stop anxious thoughts by substituting a positive or relaxing thought in its place.
