When planning the care of a terminally ill patient, the nurse must include the prevention of pain and relief from discomfort. When administering pain medication, the nurse must keep in mind that:
1.   narcotics have the potential for addiction.
2.   pain medication must be given before the pain becomes unbearable.
3.   pain medication should be given no more often than every 6 hours.
4.   narcotics must be given PRN only.
