During the nurse’s initial assessment of a school-age child, the child reports a pain level of 6 out of 10. The child is lying quietly in bed watching television. The nurse should
1. Administer prescribed analgesic.
2. Ask the child’s parents if they think the child is hurting.
3. Reassess the child in 15 minutes to see if the pain rating has changed.
4. Do nothing, since the child appears to be resting.

1... School-age children are old enough to accurately report their pain level. A pain score of 6 is an indication for prompt administration of pain medication. The child may be trying to be brave or may be lying still because movement is painful.
