A patient is scheduled for chest tube removal today. How should the nurse plan to address pain control for this procedure?
1. Place a warm, dry compress over the dressing site directly following the tube removal.
2. Have the patient take a deep breath and hold it during the procedure.
3. Provide the patient with a thorough explanation of the procedure before it begins.
4. Administer a PRN IV analgesic so that the drug's peak effect coincides with tube removal.
