A young school-age client is hospitalized with a fractured femur. Which assessment tools are appropriate for this client?
1. FACES pain scale
2. Oucher scale
3. Visual Analog Scale
4. CRIES Scale
5. Poker-chip tool
Correct Answer: 1,2,5
Rationale: A young school-age client should be able to use the FACES Scale and Oucher scale to choose which face best matches the child's pain level. The child should also be able to count and understand the concepts of the poker-chip tool. The CRIES Scale was developed for preterm and full-term neonates. A young school-age client is not old enough to use the Visual Analog Scale.
