The nurse working in the Emergency Department assists with the care of a 12-year-old diagnosed with appendicitis. The parents ask the nurse why something isn't being done to reduce the child's pain. The nurse's best response informs them that:
1. The child will not obtain pain relief until the appendix is removed.
2. Analgesics cannot be given prior to surgery, to prevent toxicity.
3. Appendicitis is not very painful, so powerful narcotics are not needed.
4. Eliminating pain prevents monitoring for rupture of the appendix.
