Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: At this age, the child is not old enough to understand the need for an IV infusion. The stem indicates that the child has been through this painful procedure before, and his reaction to entering the treatment room is based on anticipation of repeat discomfort. The child's behavior is appropriate for a child of this age.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: The FLACC scale is an appropriate tool for infants and young children who cannot self-report pain. The FACES Scale, Oucher scale, and poker-chip tool are all self-report scales.
