A Incorrect: The Oucher pain assessment tool is not for use with children of ages 1 to 2 years, as it is numeric and uses photos of children in pain.
B Correct: The Oucher pain assessment tool is for use with children of ages 3 to 12 years. The Oucher pediatric pain intensity scale consists of two scales: a 0 to 100 numeric scale and a 6-point facial scale. If the child can count, the numeric scale can be used. The facial scale can be successfully used in children as young as 3 to 4 years.
C Incorrect: The Oucher pain assessment tool is not for use with children above the age of 12, the Adolescent and Pediatric Pain Tool (APPT) is more appropriate.
D Incorrect: The Oucher pain assessment tool is not for use with children above the age of 12, the Adolescent and Pediatric Pain Tool (APPT) is more appropriate.
