CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔apical, 1 full minute, abdominal, 1
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
full minute

|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
what order? |\

|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
count respirations |\

You are assessing skin turgor in 10-month-old Ryan. You
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
grasp the skin on the abdomen between the thumb and
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
index finger, pull it taut, and quickly release it. The tissue
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
remains suspended, or tented for a few seconds and then
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
slowly falls back on the abdomen. Which of the following
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
conclusions can you correctly assume? |\ |\ |\ |\
, A- the tissue shows normal elasticity
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
B- the child is properly hydrated
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
C- the assessment was done incorrectly
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
D- the child has poor skin turgor - CORRECT ANSWERS
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
✔✔D
Which of the following behavioral pain measures includes
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
five categories of behavior and uses a scoring system to
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
quantify pain behaviors, with 0 being no pain behaviors
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
and 10 being the most possible pain behaviors?
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
A- FLACC pain assessment tool
|\ |\ |\ |\
B- pediatric pain questionnaire
|\ |\ |\
C- COMFORT scale
|\ |\
D- all of the above - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔A
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
The Wong-Baker FACES pain scale Rating:
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
A- is easy to use but less reliable than other methods
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
B- is a rating of how children are feeling
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
C- has a coding system from 0.4 to 0.97
