B
The nurse should reassess pain in the patient who received an oral pain medication 30 to 60 minutes after administration. The nurse should reassess the patient receiving IV medications 10 to 15 minutes after administration. The nurse should not wait until just before the patient can receive another dose. The patient may require additional pain medication before the next dose is due.
