During the nurse's initial assessment of a school-aged 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.

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