The question says the baby is upset. Babies cry for reasons other than pain. Maybe he was already medicated in the PACU. We don't know. Babies also can't rate their pain on a 0-10 scale. You COULD use the FLACC scale to assess pain. Again, the question doesn't even say that narcotics were prescribed for this baby. Don't make up parts of the scenario that aren't there. With the given choices, only one is correct. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
