Post by: outcider on Mar 23, 2017 The nurse is caring for a client diagnosed with a terminal illness and experiencing a great deal of pain. After administration of IV analgesia, the client continues to complain of severe pain. Which action by the nurse is the most appropriate in this situation?
1. Explain to the client the need to wait for further medication to prevent overdosage complications. 2. Ask the family to help divert the client from the discomfort. 3. Call the health care provider, if necessary, to request an order for additional analgesia. 4. Wait an hour for the medication to take effect.
