The nurse is caring for a client who is one day post surgery for an abdominal hysterectomy. The client is requesting morphine sulfate intravenous (IV), which is prescribed. The client rates her pain as 8 out of 10, with 10 being the most intense. The nurse says to another nurse on the unit, "She really doesn't look like she is in pain. Maybe she is an addict." Which is the best response by the other nurse?
1. "Maybe you could tell her to do some distraction techniques first."
2. "You could call the doctor and get an order for an oral medication."
3. "I would give the morphine; pain is subjective, and we don't know her history."
4. "I would hold the medication until she looks like she is in pain."
