The patient rings the nurse call button and requests pain medication. Upon assessment, the nurse finds the patient sitting up in a chair, watching television with a friend. Vital signs are normal and the patient's skin is warm and dry.
 
  Which nursing actions are appropriate?
  1. Ask the patient to rate his pain on the pain scale.
  2. Tell the patient that he does not look as if he is in pain.
  3. Have the patient go back to bed and ask the visitor to leave.
  4. Check to see when the patient last received pain medication.
  5. Have another nurse assess the patient.
