  b. Inconsistency in pain reporting suggests that pain is not present.
  c. Children use pain experiences to manipulate their parents.
  d. Children may be experiencing pain even though they deny it to the nurse.

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.
