ANS: C
Caregivers should be alert for new pain; this usually results from a new cause, such as metastasis, infection, or fracture, and should be investigated. Breakthrough pain is pain that occurs even when adequate levels of analgesics are given. Drug-seeking behavior refers to patients who use drugs for euphoric effects instead of for intended effects. Tolerance occurs when more drug is required to receive the same effect.
