Feedback A These are common fallacies about children and pain. B These are common fallacies about children and pain. C Pain is whatever the experiencing person says it is, whenever the person says it exists. Pain is not questioned in an adult 12 hours after surgery. D Children may deny pain to the nurse because they fear receiving an injectable analgesic or because they believe they deserve to suffer as a punishment for a misdeed. They may refuse to admit pain to a stranger, but readily tell a parent. |
