ANS: B
No data are available to support the belief that infants and children are at higher risk of respiratory depression when they are given narcotic analgesics. This is a myth. It is true that infants may have sleep difficulties after a painful event. Pain in children is multidimensional and subjective. The child's cognitive level, along with emotional factors and past experiences, does influence the perception of pain.
