Post by: oseven on Mar 23, 2017 The nurse is caring for a client who had extensive surgery, and is now 6 days postoperative and getting out of bed for the first time later this morning. When the nurse assesses the client for pain, the client responds, "It hurts, but I don't want to take any more drugs. I don't want to end up addicted." Which response by the nurse is the most appropriate?
1. "If you don't take the pain medication on a regular schedule, you won't get addicted." 2. "People who have real pain are unlikely to become addicted to analgesics provided to treat the pain." 3. "You are wise to be concerned, and after 6 days it is probably time to stop taking narcotics if you can manage the pain in other ways." 4. "Don't worry about getting addicted. I will make sure you don't get addicted." Title: Re: The nurse is caring for a client who had extensive surgery, and is now 6 days postoperative and ... Post by: hilife on Mar 23, 2017 Content hidden
