The nurse is caring for a client who had extensive surgery, and is now 6 days postoperative and getting out of bed for the first time later this morning. When the nurse assesses the client for pain, the client responds, "It hurts, but I don't want to take any more drugs. I don't want to end up addicted." Which response by the nurse is the most appropriate?
A) "People who have real pain are unlikely to become addicted to analgesics provided to treat the pain."
B) "Don't worry about getting addicted. I will make sure you don't get addicted."
C) "You are wise to be concerned, and after 6 days it is probably time to stop taking narcotics if you can manage the pain in other ways."
D) "If you don't take the pain medication on a regular schedule, you won't get addicted."
