A patient who is known to be angry and impulsive is hospitalized after an automobile accident in which he sustained severe orthopedic injuries.
 
  When in pain, he loudly berates nursing staff, saying, You jerks don't even know enough to give a patient pain medicine when he needs it.. The patient's nursing diagnosis is Ineffective coping. Which nursing intervention would best address this situation? a. If you could tell us about wanting the medicine before your pain becomes this bad, it would help..
  b. I can see you are frustrated, but rudeness toward nurses will not help you get your medication any sooner..
  c. I'm concerned that there may be something we overlooked; I'm going to ask a psychiatric specialist to evaluate you..
  d. Pain can make anyone miserable; I will ask your doctor to change the order so you get medicine regularly without having to ask..
