Nurse Sharon is explaining Wong Baker pain scale to a 9 year-old child. Listen carefully and
complete the dialog.

Sharon : I’m going to show you my sad and happy faces. They’re very useful for kids who can’t
talk because they’ve got a sore throat. You just have to point to the face which looks like
the way you feel. Is that a good idea?

Anton : Mm yeah

Sharon : Ok, Anton. Here are the faces. Can you see this face here, this first face? (1) can you see
his smiling?

Anton : Mm

Sharon : He feels great. Nothing hurts. The next face feels pretty good, but it (2) hurt a little bit
He can put up with it.

Sarah : I see, the faces relate to the pain level.

Sharon : That’s right. We like to use the wong-baker chart, or faces chart with our younger
patients. Any child from (3) this age around 3 can use this chart. It’s also useful for
patients who can’t (4) express to themself when enough in English to explain their pain
level. Now then, Anton, if you look at face number three, he’s (5) dutching to look a bit
sad isn’t he? He’s got quite a lot of pain. It hurts when he moves about. And look at
number four. Can you see that he (6) looks really unhappy? He’s got a frown on his face
and he can’t concentrate on anything

Sarah : Look, Anton. He’s not very happy at all, is he?

Anton : No

Sharon : And the next little fellow’s felling worse. The pain is very bad now He’s (7)feeling very
bad. This poor guy’s crying and can’t even get out of bed because it (8) hurt so much is
the worst pain he’s ever felt. Now, Anton, can you help me by pointing to the face which
is showing how you feel right now? Does your throat hurt a little bit or a lot?
