Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
A sentinel event is an unexpected event that results in the death or serious injury of a patient. The other descriptions are inaccurate.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The Denver II assesses personal-social, fine motor-adaptive, gross motor, and language skills to gauge performance on developmental milestones. The CHEOPS and FLACC scales are used to assess pain. The mnemonic OLD CAT is used to obtain a patient's pain history and includes questions on onset, location, duration, character, aggravating and alleviating factors, and timing.
