Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. While assessing pain level is important, ensuring adequate perfusion and circulation takes precedence.
B. Rechecking the child's temperature may be necessary but is not as immediately critical as assessing pedal pulses.
C. Determining the child's sedation level is important for monitoring postoperative status but is not the priority at this time.
D. Assessing the child's pedal pulses is crucial following a motor-vehicle crash and surgical procedures involving the lower extremities. It helps to evaluate the perfusion and circulation to the extremities, especially after a leg open reduction and fixation surgery.

A. Inject the immunizations into the deltoid muscle. B. Provide a pacifier coated with an oral sucrose solution prior to the injections. C. Use a 20-gauge needle for the injections. D. Apply eutectic mixture of local anesthetics (EMLA) cream immediately before

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Injecting the immunizations into the deltoid muscle may be appropriate for older children or adults but not for infants.
B. Providing a pacifier coated with an oral sucrose solution has been shown to reduce pain and distress during injections in infants, promoting atraumatic care.
C. A 20-gauge needle may cause more pain and tissue trauma in infants compared to a smaller gauge needle.
D. EMLA cream is not typically recommended for immunizations in infants as it requires time to take effect and may not provide adequate pain relief during the procedure.
