Answer to Question 1

A
Asking how the resident is feeling is not specific for information regarding the pain experience. Responses B, C, and D are excellent questions to ask a resident who is experiencing pain.

Answer to Question 2

A
Responses B, C, and D could be aspects of the overall safety assessment you perform, but they are too narrow to use as the only factors to consider.
