The nurse is caring for a 6-year-old girl who had surgery 12 hours ago. the child tells the nurse that she does not have pain, but a few minutes later she tells her parents that she does. which should the nurse consider when interpreting this?

The nurse might think the little girl doesn't want to tell her because she might not want to undergo surgery again if needed.
