The client is experiencing pain after orthopedic surgery, and is prescribed opioid analgesic medication. The client complains to the nurse that the surgical joint is still uncomfortable, despite around-the-clock medication. What is the nurse’s best response?
1. “You just had your medication; you will have to tolerate the pain for a little while.”
2. “Let’s try a cold pack on the area to help control the pain.”
3. “I will call your provider to increase your dose of medication.”
4. “I wonder if you are starting to get addicted to your medication.”
