The postpartum client delivered 4 hours ago. She has a mediolateral episiotomy and large hemorrhoids. She is rating her pain at 7 on a scale of 1 to 10. She has a history of anaphylactic reaction to Tylenol (acetaminophen). Which nursing action would be best?
1. Offer the client 800 mg ibuprofen orally with food.
2. Provide 2 Percocet (oxycodone with acetaminophen) by mouth.
3. Encourage use of a topical anesthetic spray.
4. Run very warm water into the tub and assist her into the bath.

Explanation:  1. This is the best option, because the client is experiencing moderately severe pain with inflammation. Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that both reduces inflammation and provides pain relief.
2. This medication is contraindicated because of the client's allergic reaction to acetaminophen.
3. Topical anesthetic sprays can be a helpful adjunct in pain relief, but are not sufficient when a client has moderately severe pain.
4. Ice packs would be better at this stage because they will cause vasoconstriction to reduce edema and pain relief.
