A client who is allergic to morphine has been receiving meperidine (Demerol) 75–100 mg IM every 6 hours for the last 3 days. Five hours after the last dose, the client calls the nursing desk and says, “I need some pain medication. I am hurting so badly that I am shaking.” What should the nurse do?


1. Administer the 100 mg dose.
2. Administer the 75 mg dose.
3. Administer 50 mg of meperidine.
4. Collaborate with the client’s health care provider regarding the medication and schedule.
5. Ask the client when the shaking first began.
