Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The FACES scale is validated for use with children ages 3 years and older. Children point to the face that best describes their level of pain. The scale can be used through adulthood. The child's estimate of the pain should be used. The physiologic measures may not reflect more long-term pain.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
No hurt is a phrase that is simple, concrete, and appropriate to the preoperational stage of the child. Using color is complicated for this age group. The child needs to identify colors and pain levels and then choose an appropriate symbolic color. This is appropriate for an older child. Zero is an abstract construct not appropriate for this age group. Least pain is less concrete than no hurt.
